I have Lou Gehrigs disease and my wife is disabled with M.S. and chronic Depression,recurrant.We have a wonderful 21 year old son who is a colege senior. I have medicare, we were all cut from Medicaid. My wife and son have no insurance whatsoever. Last summer AARP did a story on my wife and myself claiming to have saved the 100,000 Medically needy.Barbara Basler did the story. Ithink she was really trying to help, but I spoke with the head Litagator Mrs. Siemon to see what she could do? so far I have heard nothing. I have appealed, but havent heard anything there either. I am dying and I have become very bitter towards this Administration, and several legislators and senators. I feel they just want this to go away, very few seem to care. I believe In God and have tried to be patient. My ALS limits me physically, but I am going to keep fihgting. I will not accept just meand my family being put back on, they MUST reinstate the entire Group. My wife and myself were in the so-called medically needy group.
