To all,

I will not be able to work on missions or campaigns for an undetermined length of time. My parents will be losing their health care coverage in several days, because with his pension they make just above the "bracket" for their current coverage. I am absolutely livid, because with their medical problems and the amount of prescriptions they need, this will either bankrupt or kill them in short order. My father is disabled with COPD, my mother has chronic renal failure and requires PROCRIT. She also has bipolar disorder, necessitating the need for numerous prescriptions.

Obviously, I have taken up the fight to rectify this situation. I'm going over to their house in the morning to work out the details and get this straightened out. If I need to, I'll call state reps and senators to get this solved. They know full well who I am, they've dealt with me before.

I will still monitor the forums and help out when I can. but I have other priorities at the moment. Please pray for my mom and dad, as well as patience for me fighting my way through government red tape.
 
Prayers for your mom, dad, and all. I think what we need is
free health care and free meds for all, at the very LEAST for the old and for the kids. It used to be very good up here, until the insurance got into the picture. Good luck bud.
 
Hey Rami! Just come back here if you need to take a break to refit and rearm!

BTW, I'm not sure, but haven't you fought with the red-tapers over this before? You would think they would remember who they are dealing with.

Go get um Tiger!:gameon:
 
All the best wishes. With your determination you are sure to succeed. We all cross fingers for you.

Update...I helped my parents file a formal appeal, and also I called a State representative to get a little push on the process. I have many other avenues to take if this is unsuccessful.

The timing on this really s*cks. My dad is due for a prostate biopsy to determine whether or not he has prostate cancer on September 7th, because his PSA score is a 5. Their coverage is due to lapse September 2nd.

Hopefully, this will all be ironed out soon. With school coming up and my twins approaching two, life is a little stressful right now. Thanks to all of your for your kind words, and keeping the forum stable. I hope to be back to my normal self very soon. At the moment, I'd madder than a hornet's nest.
 
Rami;
We don't know each other, but we are "friends" behind the (virtual) Pilot's Wings.. that's all that's needed.
I wish your parents well, and support you in your fight.. I've walked in your shoes.
All the best, my friend.
Charles.
 
Hook in Rami! I love your "take no prisoners" approach. You only get the 1 pair of parents and I think yours are lucky to have you to go in to bat for them, best of luck mate
