Hi I am Cas...I was denied 5 times and gave up. My daughter told me I was too much of a jerk to put up with that! So I wrote letters to everyone. I started with local people like in my state...State medicaid supervisor, state representatives, and I got sick of typing so I made a form letter and added whoever I was sending it to and emailed it to the governor, senators, I even sent it to the president of the US...I got a call from one of our senators and he scheduled a meeting with me and 2 weeks later I was approved. Write your story! Who you are, why you need help, what you have to live for, and request their assistance in being able to live your life! I spent 3 days sending e-mails to anyone I could find their e-mail address online..lol..it worked and I am 7 years free of Hep C!
