Golden State Health Care

This blog begins today and is dedicated to my travels through the stone age health care of California. A bit of background:

I am an unemployed real estate broker. I have rescinded my fees to the state because real estate is still toast. Better to not spend the money right now. I have a hereditary blood issue that precludes me from working properly. I have much uncertainty because of no proper diagnosis as this involves educated opinion post a gene test.

I do not have health insurance and living in Santa Clara County am endeavoring to see what the process is involved in the State of California to gaining some form of health care in some way shape or form of treatment.

I will post here my trials and tribulations with a comparison if I lived in Massachusetts what that same level of care would be.

To date I have contacted Anna Eshoo's office on my disorder with what help the Feds could provide. The honorable Congresswoman gave me a link to a foundation's website. In there I have all the information I need to tell doctors and have that all written down in advance to make the conversation short and to the point. From there, I went and contacted the County to see what they can do for me. A nurse contacted me and gave me the phone number for RotoCare a charity based medical care at El Camino Hospital. I ask everyone that views my blog to please donate what you can to this organization. The doctors work for free.

I got a blood test showing false positives on 7 of the 9 possibilities leaving the hereditary gene base diagnosis the only one left to be answered. The issue is my father bless his soul, died of complications to ALS. ALS kills nerves making the mussels atrophy. Eventually one loses the ability to breath. My father had a declaration where he would not get a respirator. The issues I have uncovered something else. Pophyria has a hereditary form which exhibits ALS characteristics and kills the same way. I discovered a link to iron toxicity in my family and Pophyria. Cutting out iron has kept my iron levels normal and I feel better for it. Vegetable based iron is very toxic and I have to be careful. That is all I know for now. The doctors at RotoCare gave me a referral at the county specialists. Now the issue of health care insurance plays a major role.

I went to the county gave them my financials and tomorrow I meet with them for what the State can offer someone like me. Someone like me is 7 million people uninsured and 19 million under or unemployed.

Compare that so for to Massachusetts, all I would have had to do is sign up at a government website and take my financial information and for someone like myself no cost to me at all just get insured and choose a doctor. No rationing of health care and thus far miles ahead of the California stone age welfare system which is rationed; I cant get needed genetic testing.

This will be the longest blog (I will try real hard). I am asking for donations as I plan to be a champion for California Care in our Golden State. The law suits in Massachusetts are done with the Supreme Court saying the opposition to their state health care insurance as no case, meaning MA is going full speed ahead. The Federal Administration has said they will fund the costs next year. We need that here. We rank last as the most people without health insurance. A case also is made that unemployment is tied to the health of a population. MA is 8% unemployment with 98.1% of the people insured.

I hope this will be a short blog.

Until tomorrow, The California People whom I love.
