Big Sis...
« on: January 16, 2010, 07:59:52 PM »
Spoke with my sister tonight in MN.  She's retired (early, no fault of her own) and without health insurance because she's not eligible for Medicare/Medicaid yet and currently has some health issues.  Nothing serious but she could use some good thoughts and prayers.

I was so proud when I mentioned how much SHE could benefit from some form of universal coverage and she replied;  "I could sure use some healthcare, but not at the expense and damage it could do to my country!"......

If you could take a moment and say a blessing for my big Sis, Jamie Lee, I would appreciate it..

Thanks,

Can she try to get SSDI? (Social Security Disability Ins.), usually it takes a lawyer, but I pray for her health and hope she stays well.

Can she try to get SSDI?

I asked her the same question.  She will be 65 in September so her benefits kick in, but she hasn't gotten a firm diagnosis yet.  She's trying to get into a specialist. 

When I fought to get SSI for my wife, it took me two years to get it approved and it wasn't easy.  I know an attorney would have been easier but at the time I didn't have the resources.  Neither does she at the moment but she has two grown daughters in the twin cities who are wonderful kids and can help.

She's on the list Timothy!  At least she's in Minnesota, where she won't make the system any worse if she gets help.

Done.

Has she tried Minnesota Care?  It is taxpayer subsidized insurance.  I'm paying for it so somebody should get some use out it.
