Comments on: A Casualty Of Rick Scott, The Florida Legislature, And The Party Of “No” http://mywomenonthemove.com/a-casualty-of-rick-scott-the-florida-legislature-and-the-party-of-no/ Promoting Positivity in Women Sun, 05 Feb 2017 04:13:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.25 By: Rick scott will pay http://mywomenonthemove.com/a-casualty-of-rick-scott-the-florida-legislature-and-the-party-of-no/#comment-111139 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 13:37:34 +0000 http://mywomenonthemove.com/?p=626#comment-111139 I’m not a woman, but a single 28 year old guy living in Florida, the land of hell. I came to pay my respect , and also be a similar voice to this courageous, and beautiful lady who is in a better place now. I too do not make enough for Obama care, but do not fit under the medicaid brqcket , so I do. It have insurance, and am not allowd to live. I’ve been suffering with a staph infection for three years now, and it is now clear that nobody cares about it, and I can’t get anywhere without coverage. My infection drains, and Festus up to marble sized boils, very painful, very bad. I know it’s in my bloodstream , hence my heart problems, brain damage I can literally feel, and other things this is causing. So again …..I’ll just be another dead Florida number to these people very soon. By the way, I’m neither Republican , nor Democrat , nor liberal ……just human.

A single mother of 3 making 11k and she didn’t qualify for Obamacare subsidies? And to the person about making a “bad choice?” She made the same bad choice 3 times? I would have loved to have had 3 kids, but I couldn’t afford them so I had one…and now I’m supposed to pay state income taxes so people like Charlene can be irresponsible and have 3? When do the bleeding hearts stop making excuses for bad behavior and decisions and start holding people responsible for themselves and reproductive choices?

And I am not willing to understand the fact that 9.000$ annually is too much income for this program for a mother with several kids to feed.

It’s is some kind of political bullshit those high paid people do on expense (and lifes) the poor peoples backs.

I am sorry for the woman and I am relieved I am living in an european country and not in the U.S.
Healthcare is free and available for everyone in countries like e.g. Germany, France and the scandinavian countries. You may call them nanny states but if you do you are just blind for the truth that these systems work great and are economical fine. Much fewer people without a big bank account are left behind, like it is everyday reality in the U.S.

Yes, Charlene should have had access to expanded Medicare. BUT a woman working that hard should not be making such a paltry income. This is the United States of America. If people are willing a work a full time job, if they are willing to coble together enough part time hours to come up with 35 hours a week, they should be brining home enough money to take care of themselves and their families without having the endure the humiliation of having to ask for public assistance. Which brings us to… the need to increase the minimum wage. The need to prevent large employers from turning direct employ positions into contract work if that work is not truly temporary in nature (say an need for increased labor for 6 months or fewer).
For those readers who are hating on the ACA, here is something worth knowing. The ACA distributes funds to each of the 50 states every year for programs to help reduce hospital associated infections. There were 722,000 HAIs in U.S acute care hospitals in 2011. About 75,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations. Anyone using a hospital, especially who has a central line (intravenous), a catheter, or an abdominal surgery is potentially at risk. It doesn’t matter what kind of insurance they have or what their income level is. Personally, I am very grateful for this benefit of Obamacare.
I am very sorry to hear of Charlene’s needlessly early death, of the sadness her family and friends experience from the loss of her presence.
I live in Washington state. We accepted Medicaid expansion and built our own exchange. I know of young people covered by their parents insurance, young people who were able to get coverage they couldn’t afford before. I know of a family of 2 folks in their late 50’s who reduced their monthly medical insurance expense from nearly $1,000 per month to just over $200. We Americans need to stop looking at one another and seeing a competitor, someone to judge. We need to start seeing sisters and brothers.

If you hate to make unkind statements about others, if what you are about to say gives you pause and prompts you to apologize before you express the thought, you are best of not expressing that thought.
There is a lot we don’t know about Charlene and never will. But it is entirely possible that she had her children within what she thought was the shelter of a stable marriage. To assume that she did anything otherwise… cheapens you more than it cheapens her.

Because if you don’t have one… you probably should probably be a little more cautious about what you say.
