Re: House and Senate Members working with Gov. Quinn to look for Medicaid options.

[Guest guest]

Why don't they all take a road trip to Wis.???  Isn't that state #3 in the

nation for services?  Gosh, they wouldn't even have to get on a plane to go do

some hands-on research - let's pile them all on a hot school bus with no seat

belts and take them for a ride!!!

House and Senate Members working with Gov. Quinn to look

for Medicaid options.

Hi IPADD,

After reading the Springfield State Journal's article from the Digest 1178, the

following persons are meeting with Gov. Quinn to help figure out any options for

Medicaid.

Being a novice, I feel the article shows them wanting to figure out how to get

people WHO REALLY SHOULD NOT QUALIFY for Medicaid OFF MEDICAID.

Seems they are people to direct our options/letters/angst toward.

Heck now why can't any one figure out to maybe check with other states that are

SUCCESSFUL and find out how to work this nasty problem out. I will be calling

the other

Governor's of states that are in the top 10 for services and personally ask them

to call our " novice, new Gov. left with crap to work with " in order to help

guide his decision.

Here is the list of house/senate members:

Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon

Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford

Sen. Dan Kotowski, D-Park Ridge

Sen. Donne Trotter, D-Chicago

Rep. Bellock, R-Hinsdale

Rep. Rosemary Mulligan, R-Des Plaines

Rep. Mautino, D-Spring Valley

Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-Urbana

Let's help educate them to our plight!!

Hi all:

I am trying to gauge whether we might want to consider a conversion to Facebook.

There are abut 1,000 members in dialogue on Facebook about the impending budget

cuts in just a few short weeks. In about 3 years, IPADDU has attracted 500 plus

members...

Any thoughts on this would be welcomed?

Ellen,

I think you mean THIS group, since I saw Noah's name right at the top of new

members and it has over 1000 members -- the other one was originated by the ARC

and has about 800 members. Here's the correct link (I think)

anything to broaden the interest base. I was able to have the letter sent

to me from Ray Graham in the church bulletin this weekend, and we may have

awakened some people this is affecting people in our neighborhood..some

teachers are gearing up. The braoder we message this the better off we are.

Just dont make it so complicated those of us on a first grade tech level

cant get it. Thanks for all the hostesses on IPADD do. Good luck to all of

us as we enter what may be the lat week before it all perks to the top or we

really do end services. cindi

By the way...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO OUR WONDERFUL MALE MEMBERS (sorry...that

doesn't sounds exactly right, but you know what we mean...I hope!)

Ellen,

I think an IPADDU page on FB would be a great idea. I am on FB every day and

posting messages there would certainly get to me faster than the group (I

do daily digest). I may be a few years off from really needing services (my son

is only 9), but knowledge now can't hurt. Honestly, I think IPADDU would get

more traffic moving to FB. Plus, with it being a more public forum... perhaps a

little more difficult to be ignored? I could be wrong (politics are not my

thing), but it's just my 2 cents.
