Living with HIV and many other health conditions is not a walk in the park.
Being unwell and depending on programs that are suppose to help you stay healthy can actually be quite stressful at times.
Take Medicare Advantage Plans for example.
If you are unfortunate enough to only get an HMO PLAN because you are a slave to the system you find out that finding doctors can be very frustrating. Who can blame the doctors for NOT taking the HMO PLAN? Actually NO ONE can blame them because the HMO PLAN does not pay the doctor squat for taking care of you.
When I started looking for a new PCP it took several months of phone calls that ended in disappointment because they find out you have an HMO PLAN. Thank God I finally found one that takes the HMO PLAN and is actually working with me to get the help I need without all the SPECIALIST that cost a fortune to go to when you are on a limited income {SSDI}.
Thanks to this horrible Presidential Administration and the Republican Congress, the insurance companies can now take advantage of the POOR and SICK.
Starting in 2018 Oklahoma Medicare Advantage NO LONGER provides the measly $10 over the counter medical card. If that was not bad enough now they NO LONGER offer DENTAL.
What is this government going to do NEXT,
take our insurance away completely!?!
It costs close to $150,000 a year in Medical and Prescriptions to keep me semi healthy with my health declining every year. I guess people like me DON'T MATTER and it would be best for this government to get rid of us. They might as well round us all up like the NAZI'S did the JEWS and CHRISTIANS and put us in gas chambers to exterminate us. Feels like that is what they are wanting to accomplish, without the "gas chamber" of course. Making it more and more difficult to get the healthcare needed to stay alive is an easy way for them to get rid of us.
Those of us living with HIV are watching this government prove they want to get rid of us by doing away with essential programs that help STOP the STIGMA and programs to help pay for medical care. If this Republican Congress and Vice President Mike Pence have their way they will eliminate said programs in 2018. Clearly the FIGHT to stay alive is still important to so many people.
Depression and anxiety are a deadly combination which is getting harder and harder to keep at bay with all the life changes in health along with the government showing their true colors about getting rid of all of us who are not well.
God bless you all with peace and health in 2018 and beyond.
