Reply #4: Hurting ni Mississippi

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

This is the msg I rec'd from an internet friend in MS....


"We in Mississippi are in the midst of a crisis at the moment. The entire MS Medicaid system ran out of funds yesterday. Those of us with parents and loved ones in nursing homes, or disabled children are in big trouble unless the legislators get off their behinds and do something. They can't agree on how to fund the program and have let it shut down. Please send some prayers .... for the 786,000 Mississippians who are on Medicaid and now have no health care or pharmaceuticals. The nursing home my mother is in sent out a letter stating they would have to discharge if we cannot pay the bill in advance for April. I have (her disabled son's) meds and food supplements for the moment, but he has to stay healthy because he has no health care insurance. "
