Katrina Mcdougall
I am a 51 yr old female afflicted with M.S. who is currently using a powerchair held together with duct tape. I don’t have the SOC to get a new one besides I can’t get to drs office because it’s not ADA equipped. I have called social worker 5 separate times to which she has not returned my call. I even called Aging and disabled; same situation. I am on medicare/medi-cal but due to unscrupulous actions by a distributor I am stuck with this chair for another 4 yrs. Hope the duct tape holds. I suggest you make clinics similar to Starbuck’s on each corner so disabled people and uninsured can be seen by medical professional for minor things. |
 There is Widespread Support for Reform

  71 percent of Californians are worried about the rising costs of health care premiums, deductibles, co-payments. A similar majority (71%) is worried about being able to pay the costs of their health care premiums, deductibles and co-payments. Concerns about having access to quality doctors and health service services (68%) or having to wait or put off getting needed care (67%) are also cited by greater than two in three voters statewide.
