Yes we went to Tennessee and made some noise but as of yet nothing good has happened and this month we had a vent user die in a nursing home he was sent to because of this cut in his benefits that let him stay at home.
The government killed this man as far as I'm concerned and hopefully there will be a lawsuit following this cruel act.
It really shows you how freakin dumb the government is when it comes to us because not only do these programs they cut "save" medicaid money, we get better care with our families.

Gang, Shit is hitting the fan in a couple of states for vent users receiving Medicaid. You've probably heard that the Governor of Tennessee is putting vent users in nursing homes. In Virginia, you can't even go into a nursing home. You have to leave the state. Anyway, there is a petition that you can sign. All you need is your name and email address. If you want to put an affiliation such as your job title that is fine (Liz you definitely should). You can put your a quad or just put your name and concerned citizen. Continued Medicaid cuts will only make things worse so we mights as well do what we can now. Thanks http://www.post-polio.org/ivun/index.html Scroll down about half way. Eric |
