Between Medicaid and Medicare
This past week or so I have had several medical tests that I know will all end up being paid by my deductible. I had put off one test for 5 years because I didn’t feel I had money to pay for it. I say all this because it is not fair that I can have the tests and someone else won’t because they don’t have insurance or money to pay for the tests. Part of the Bowdon Horizons plan is to try and find health insurance for small business owners–those who fall between medicaid and medicare. I’m hoping we can rally the troops and work for univeral health care–a North Dakota plan for all–with preventive medicine incentives and early testing. There are Presidential candidates who support this idea. I believe there is a ND governor candidate who believes the same and District 14 may have a few legislative candidates as well. Lobbying and working for law changes is a way to deal with the poverty of medical availability for all. The US should not be “twenty something” in the world’s advanced nations to offer health care to its citizens. We all feel helpless to make an impact on such a huge issue. Let’s start talking about it and voting for candidates who want to make the changes in this country where all people are treated equally. We can start by providing health care to everyone.
