No fun.scheckler said:Hello, my name is Dwight and some of you know me and some don't. I'm with MBoSC and love bikes. I'm not looking for sympathy but I've been through a very difficult time in my life. If you're interested to know my plight a good friend set up a blog at www.dwightfollien.blogspot.com
As I've been going through the stuff I've been going through I wanted to find a way(something positive) to create awareness to the serious problems our present health care system has. I think my friend Charles said it best, "It's really amazing what you have to do and sacrifice to keep yourself healthy, when so many of us think we have these benevolent systems in place working for situations like yours." I'm planning a ride from Santa Cruz to Sacramento… Riding to Sacramento with a list of Californians who are unable to get the proper health care they need because of their financial status and/or they have a pre- existing condition. For those that are unaware there is a California law(for the benefit of insurance companies)that states "if you have a pre existing medical condition and have been without private medical insurance for over 63 days you have to be put on a 6 month waiting period before your medical benefits fully become available. There is still a monthly premium to be paid during the six month waiting period and you only receive discounts on generic prescriptions" Wow, there very few(1 or 2)generic diabetic prescriptions. What kind of deal did California make with Insurance companies? Well, I want to find out and it's my right. This law or whatever it is, is a huge part of the reason for why I'm in the situation I'm in. It's time to make some noise. Time to tell the insurance companies and our government that we are humans NOT a profit margin. I don't want anyone's children or anyone at all to go through what I've endured. Families USA and Health Access California are providing the media attention I need and we're still talking about a date for this ride. I have pneumonia currently so I'll have to survive this first
What I'd like from the biking community are ideas, advice, routes to take… I'm a mtn biker and just started to ride the road. I don't have a road bike but I have a hardtail that will work. Already have my spandex and I look GOOD
That means a lot to me, I really appreciate your help... You want me to ride to Stockton and get you to ride with me To Sacramento?
Dwighty! Let's go for a ride. I'm with ya babyscheckler said:Hello, my name is Dwight and some of you know me and some don't. I'm with MBoSC and love bikes.
