Hunger for Health Care -Day two

So the first day was not smooth but it was not as painful as I thought it would be.

Adrian Campbell, in Michigan, clearly has a worse day, screaming at and called a liberal whore while being pelting her with eggs had to be devastatingly demoralizing.

Donna Smith, also in her first day, long and taxing but not as ugly and emotionally painful as Adrian and I.

Today, I went to Integris Canadian to discuss harrassing collections on the outstanding thousands of dollars owed them by NY Workers COmpensation for treatment they rendered to me. It was ugly! Finally I had to remind them, I have terminal lung disease, not exactly the type of person you want to piss off and clearly, being on Social Security Disability there is nothing of mine you can come take, so just get with the "F^CK~NG PROGRAM"! Send the bills to them CERTIFIED MAIL, stop calling me, and send copies to my attorney for an upcomming hearing. In case she forgot, I reminded her, I've got nothing to loose, dont bother talking down to me, use it for Workers Compensation, they have the money you want.

Then I had a form notarized at the bank. Carrying my hunger strike sign!

Then off to 3 different DHS locations, none of which would allow me to stand anywhere including the breezeway/easement, public access or ditch outside their property.

I came home, had my chicken broth to quiet my stomach. First liquids today were 1/2 cup of coffee to stop the angry banging in my head requiring caffeine. I can hold until dinner time when I will finish my chicken broth.

Every sign I see is about food, every commercial, every radio ad. I know that Adrian, Donna I will continue to be strong and our will power and determination and your prayers will take us into tomorrow.

Monday, I will go to Mary Fallin's office at lunch time, I have an apppointment. I will send it to you with details over the weekend. Tuesday, I sent in a reservation to hold a press conference at the Capital's Blue Room. It will be day 6 and also the day Sicko is Released. I would like to invite a few people over who havent seen the movie to view it.

After Tueday's press conference I will return to visit the office of Frank Lucas in YUKON!

The statement his office gave me includes the line:
"I do not support provisions in HR 976 that expand government control of health insurance, undermine private insurance and do not put poor children first."

It follows by saying: I am hopeful that my colleagues adn I can now work together to enact resposible SCHIP reform that provides health insurance to the children who need it.

The guidelines for this bill are for "families who are earning up to 200% of the Federal Poeverty Level (FPL) or families earning $41,300. Our combined family income did not meet the $41,000 level so I am still qualified under this bill if it passes so my children can have medicaid.
