Reply #33: Politicians

The case workers and legislative correspondents in Senator Durbin's office claimed that they did not understand what the problem was with the HMOs. The caseworker tolk me that she thought that I was just not being told what I wanted them to tell me. I told her that I wanted them to tell me what the law required them to tell me, but she could not distinguish the difference.

Senator Peter Fitzgerlad did not run for re-election. HIs caseworker went throught the motions, but kept referring my complaint to state agencies. Medicare issues are regulated by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I think that she ws probably busy packing.

Philip Crane was voted out of office. His caseworker told me that she did not understand what my problem was.

I sent all of these people ample documentation and testimony supporting my complaints. I do no think that these staff members spent much time going over it. In any case, they did not appear to be very intelligent.

I will be speaking with a caseworker in the office of my new representative, Melissa Bean. However, she has been in office a week.

Senator Barak Obama is the new senator. I think taht he is already running for president, so I do not know how much time his staff will spend on issues such as mine.
