Catholic Charities Eligibility Determination Services
Harold called me today (Sunday Dec-29-2024) and said he was being discharged today from Ocala Regional Hospital (HCA) but without having kidney dialysis. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) website says county health departments provide medical care and case management to anyone who is eligible. Catholic Charities provides Eligibility Determination Services. I have advocated for Harold with the health department since September 15, 2024, and again yesterday.
Still no word from Marissa Duquette, General Counsel for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, on the alleged "blockage in the county" preventing Harold from getting help. However I did hear from the office of U.S. Congresswoman Kat Cammack; as a legislator she cannot help "due to the principle of separation of powers". So we are all at the mercy of a corrupt justice system. President-elect Donald Trump knows about our corrupt justice system. So does President Biden, who pardoned his own son in part due to lawfare.
A number of Americans believe the United States is a Christian nation. The good book has numerous examples of Jesus Christ healing the sick. So why can it be so difficult for Americans to get healthcare? Jesus cured a blind man who was uninsured. Jesus cured ten lepers without a co-payment. Jesus cured a paralytic without prior authorization. Maybe Jesus was sending a message.
I fund Justice Network from my Social Security retirement income. I welcome financial support through PayPal. Also, if anyone has a washing machine they don't need, I can pick it up for the landlady at Harold's group home. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year. Neil Gillespie
