You won’t believe this lawmaker’s email to mom of diabetic child

I fail to see the issue with the response she received. This woman, like so many others is having problems getting medicare to cover medication. Does she think her state representative is just going to call someone and have it fixed overnight? The system is in shambles

Key Takeaways:

• Is there someone in the legislature that can and will help these children stay healthy? They must have these medications and supplies which administer the medications in order to remain healthy, and quite honestly, alive!”
• When I was pregnant with my second child and switching to different insurance, the new insurance company initially denied coverage for my meds.
• Although my children are incredibly fortunate not to have chronic health issues, I live with a disease called ulcerative colitis. In order to keep this condition in remission, I receive medication via injections every four weeks.

“Obviously, there are still some serious issues with our nation’s health system if children (and any person, for that matter) don’t have access to medications that keep them alive”
