    representative doggett
    when, sir, will congress begin to feel compelled to honor the contract that all of us “we the people” made? get to governing and not being handmaidens of the lobbyists.
    we need health care reform…NOW!!..my insurance costs $4200. per annum and gives me 80% of $3000.oo benefits. cause i had polio at 4 yrs. old, i have a preexisting condition(i’m now 63). so “upgrading” is not an option.
    i’ve had something wrong with my “gut” for app. 3 yrs. not a lot of analysis is possible on my budget. if i live two more yrs., and if medicare hasn’t been eradicated, then, maybe, i can find out what’s wrong.
    sir, please try to honor our contract and get me and others a fair and affordable health care plan. i’m dying to see it come to fruition!
    sincerely,
    danielle

    I wanted to pass along my admiration for what you are doing, Leslie! It was an honor to be with you while you marched on Washington this week. My hope and prayer for you is that you will be strengthened in your convictions and continue to do what you feel called to.

    I walked away feeling that if everyone had a burden for something “more” for our culture, the world would definitely be different.

    1,000,000 blessings to you!

Help Life o' Mike

We need your help now more than ever. Your tax-deductible donation will help us get Patient Pals and Family Friends off the ground. Please consider a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one.

Patient Pals & Family Friends volunteer training

Our Feb. 27 training had to be postponed, but we have rescheduled. Join us 8 days, as we train our next group of volunteers for Patient Pals & Family Friends. The four-hour training will run 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and will include lunch. Patient Pals are people who have experience with an illness or disability. After training, they will be paired with someone who is newly diagnosed or disabled. Family Friends will be volunteers who are paired with family members of people who are ill or disabled, and will have been through the expeience of having a loved one with illness or disability.

In Loving Memory

Life o' Mike has participated two memorial services to remember those who have died from our broken health care system, one in Asheville and one in Raleigh. If you would like to organize more of these services, please contact lifeomike@gmail.com and we will help put it together. The services include stories, prayers and information on how people of faith can make a difference. About 45,000 people die each year because they don’t have health insurance, according to a recent study by Harvard Medical School and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. That breaks down to one American every 12 minutes. Those people can be honored in the service by a bell chime and a moment of silence every 12 minutes in the service. For more information, call Leslie Boyd at 828-243-6712.
