John Bullard is a 23 year old young man, great in spirit, and has dealt with Cerebral Palsy all his life. John’s condition has historically been treated with coverage from Medicaid. Over the last few months, John has faced many personal challenges with this treatment. Medicaid informed John he was being forced to move to a HMO plan primarily triggered by his age. With this, the medical facility treating John informed him they would not be able to provide treatment. This is one of the largest and most respected medical facilities in the United States. Efforts to have this corrected have been futile, leaving John with no medical treatment.
John’s personal friends, moved by his situation, created this video. John and his friends are frustrated with what they see happening today. Special needs individuals are been forced into compromised or terminated treatment. John is not the only individual suffering with this; just in his small circle he knows similar stories plaguing them as well. This group of young citizens are very passionate about our politics driving the agenda, leaving the most disadvantaged behind.
Their request to us is simple, first and foremost for us to pray for change of this course we have created. Secondly, for us to distribute their message by forwarding their video in each of our circles, hoping that through doing so, we will get the message into the hands of individuals that may be able to help create change.
“I was born with Cerebral Palsy and someday, I will die with Cerebral Palsy.
What matters? Age and the budget? Or the human condition, and the quality of our lives?”
“Where you invest your love, you invest your life.”
