Update about contacting congress, etc about my daughter and no healthcare

[Guest guest]

Well, I have to say, it has been rather disappointing. Out of the more than 10

letters I sent out I only heard from 2. One was a guy from the local state

congress person who basically said there is nothing he can do. He contacted

people who gave him the same run around as I have received. The other was a

national senator's office who were so rude it was ridiculous. After speaking

with the DSHS office consumer complaint dept who it appears has the job of

saying " I'm sorry ma'am and how does that make you feel? " --I found out my

daughter can qualify for medical if she were pregnant, in jail, or an illegal

alien but as a college student she should be able to work full time and receive

benefits. They reviewed her records and she is stable on medication--really? And

so therefore she does not qualify. I mentioned how she would become rapidly

unstable without her Remicade etc and would end up in the ER or hospital and was

told they would cover her then. I can't

believe they would rather pay emergency bills than keep her stable. She will

graduate from university in 9 days but the possibility of finding full-time

employment soon in her field is highly unlikely. That doesn't mean we aren't

praying for a miracle here. We joke around that instead of marrying a man for a

green card (like in some movie we watched) she'll marry him for health

insurance!!!

 

e, mom to " joe " 21 poly/lupus (and we just found out severely deficient

in Vitamin D) who will graduate from University on the 13th!!!!--Take that

JRA!!!!!!)
