Faces of Health Care Reform: Kristen & Adam
Kristen and Adam live in Minneapolis, MN. Kristin has polycystic kidneys, a genetic disease she shares with her father. Because Kristen knew she was predisposed to the illness, she got tested early and took preventative measures like quitting caffeine and decreasing her salt intake to keep her kidneys healthy and mitigate the long term effects of her illness.
At the time of her diagnosis, Kristen had health insurance through her employer. But when she won a prestigious playwriting fellowship (which necessitated a move to Minneapolis) it meant she had to give up her insurance. Kristen and Adam tried to buy insurance on the open market, but were rejected because of Kristens pre-existing condition, this is never anything Ive had treatment for, never anything I was recommended to have treatment for, she says. Eventually Kristen and Adam applied for insurance through Minnesotas high risk pool, but now they pay $215 each quarter for a plan with a $10,000 deductible. I dont have access to the health care system — this is only to keep myself and my mother from going bankrupt should anything ever happen to me, Kristen says. Its not health insurance – its a hedge against catastrophe.
Organizing for America has collected hundreds of thousands of personal health care stories. The grassroots effort is building support in communities across the country for a plan that adheres to President Obamas three principles for reform: lowering costs, preserving patient choice and increasing access to quality care.

VVH-TV News — Lyme Disease: Medical Nightmare (Part 2)
Lyme disease — it has become epidemic on Long Island and much of the New
York Metropolitan Area, indeed across the United States. But as bad as the
illness has become, so has treatment for it — health insurers have
discouraged long-term treatment for what is often a long-term illness.
Suffolk County Long Island Legislator Edward Romaine recently held a
public meeting on Lyme disease.
Eva Haughie, President, Empire State Lyme Disease Association. She has
had Lyme disease for nearly 20 years. Her association is based in Manorville.
Dr. Joseph Burrascano, East Hampton, New York He is a pioneer in the
treatment of Lyme disease. And because of the push by medical insurers to
only cover short-term treatment — two, three or four weeks of antibiotics
– and Dr. Burrascano having developed a protocol for treating the many
people who are not cured in the short-term but have chronic Lyme disease,
he ended up being attacked. But he came through it and is regarded as a
major leader in the field.
Staci Grodin, Co-Founder and President, Turn the Corner Foundation. A
Lyme Diseases victim, her Turn the Corner Foundation has raised over $2
million and funded important Lyme disease research.
Sandy Berenbaum, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Brewster, New York. She
has specialized with working with those with chronic Lyme disease. Her
accounts were most poignant, and her explanation of why health
insurers balk at providing compensation for long-term treatment most illuminating.
Diane Blanchard, President, Time for Lyme. A former resident of Westhampton, where she and members of her family contracted Lyme disease, she presently lives in Greenwich, Connectcut. Her organization, Time for Lyme, focuses on education and research.
Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. Humayan Chaudhry. confirms how Lyme disease has become “endemic”.
Suffolk County Legislator Edward Romaine
New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr., Sag Harbor, New York who
talks about the bill he has before the New York State Assembly requiring
health insurers to provide compensation for long-term treatment of Lyme
diseases — a measure that has been bottled up in Albany.
Shelter Island Town Supervisor Alfred Kilb, Jr. Shelter Island has long
been a particular hotspot for Lyme disease and Kilb describes Shelter
Islanders he knows with chronic cases of the disease.

7-15-09Electricity Is One Of Those Things You Forget About Until It Is Gone
When you turn on a light switch you just expect there to be light. That is what I thought last week when I walked in my house at the end of a long day. The problem was there was nothing. I called the electric company but they had no reports of any power outage and it would be the next day before I could expect anyone to come out. That is when I took matters into my own hands. I called a professional electrician. He had the problem solved in less than one hour. I paid him but I still saved the cost of a hotel room, spoiled food and the aggravation. If you are in the Chicago area give your local Chicago Electricians a call. They will take care of things and save you money in the long run.
