After I was hospitalized 2&1/2 years ago I was eligible for Medicaid. My share of cost was $309 and the state would pay everything after that. That summer when the federal funded expansion was offered, my share if cost went up to $3009. I didn't have any income and was waiting/hoping for disability.

Luckily, mega doses of steroids and chemo drugs knocked my issues down. I've been fortunate enough to find some work arounds now. I've got rare conditions and there is a Mayo Clinic in town and MDA is helping.

Had pRick Scatt had his way I'd have been shit out if luck because the black president tried to help me. I hope we get a Dem governor who can get the legislature to accept federal funds. Either way by then I'll be getting Medicare.

Many more were not as lucky as I was
