Blue Pills and Red Tape

On Saturday, I was first at bat to testify at a public Field Hearing on the health care crisis in this country. State and Federal Representatives, like John Conyers, were there. Senator Peaden (R), immediately pulled me aside and asked me to come up to Tallahassee to meet with the Governor's team to discuss the problems I encountered and propose solutions. Thank you Simon and Wendy for coming.

 

I spoke about the problems I encountered dealing with COBRA, Open Enrollment, the state CFO site, the Department of Labor and being an automatic decline because I have pre-existing conditions. If an educated and tech savvy person has difficulty navigating their way through the labyrinth of a system we have, how are the less educated, less savvy supposed to do it? 

I had it posted on youtube and disabled it because I got a call from Peggy Gaines, one of our great leaders. She said that it looks like the whole group of us might be headed to Tallahassee to speak to Congress and also DC.
