If you could take some time out of your busy day and please help support Citizens For a Public Option. Sign the online petition and lets get this DONE.  If you feel like we don’t need to change the health care system in this country please let me know why.  I have had first hand experience of the downfalls in our current system being a person born with a disability who is wheelchair bound.  Lucky for me there is medicaid or I would most likly not lived to write this post.

So here is my problem, I do get free health care, and for the most part any treatment available.  The catch is I must live in poverty.  If I make too much money(more than 11,000 per year) I loose medicaid and have to go get a private option.  Well that does not sound too bad does it?  Well it would not be bad if they covered pre-existing conditions, you know like the spina bifida I was born with.

So don’t tell me our health care system is fine.  It’s not, it’s broken.  When I was a kid the sky was the limit for the care I received.  They did a little thing called preventive care, screening me for all kinds of things, and making sure I was eating right and working with a physical therapist.  This is all gone now.  Now I’m sold to about 30 different doctors to check me for 30 different things.  I’m now a product to market, a bank account that these hospitals use to milk money from medicaid.  So health care reform is not all about the insurance companies, but also about the medical establishments.  They are just as guilty.

So please read Citizens For a Public Option. Sign it and lets begin to fix this system once and for all.
