Hello,

I have worked in the health insurance industry for over 15 years and recently had to transition to a caregiver roll for my last surviving parent. I am alone with no support and my services facilitator, who is knowledgeable, helpful and fully dedicated to her patients, has been the only reason I’ve been able to maintain my own sanity and get things done. 

I know all too well how MCO’s operate. Members are NOT people they are dollar signs. Any and every opportunity to deny a service and save them $1 happens every time and allowing them to take over facilitating these services is a near death sentence to everyone who is like me, fixed to care for a failing family member because there are no other options. 

handling more control over to the insurance companies sends a clear message, you and your loved ones are not important only the money is. I will work and advocate to remove any public official who votes or supports this despicable proposed change. There must be a time when PEOPLE are valued more than money and that time must be NOW.
