In life we are given the opportunity to help others all the time. There are numerous occasions were clicking the button is just something you won't do. Something so easy and something that costs nothing yet something many won't do. There are many reasons why one may choose not to join others in signing a petition that doesn't harm but only helps. As I sit back and see that I have 89 signatures supporting my petition to get insurance companies to provide coverage to hearing aids, I cannot help but think about those that didn't sign. I know I should be grateful and concentrate on the ones that did!! I am beyond gratefu for them...for you!!! But what of my cousins and friends that ignored the pleas I sent directly to them? What of those that clicked on this link and read my blog but chose not to sign? What goes through the mind of those that choose not to stand up with me? Is it me? Am I the reason that they won't lend their name? Did I have an adverse effect on them at one point during our interactions or lack there of? These are questions that I ask, but know I will not get an answer to. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that by standing up to insurance companies WE have made a statement! We have said that all of us deserve the same type of coverage!! Thank you, to all of you that chose to take a stand with me!! A FREE stand that may one day have a huge effect on how and what the insurance companies choose to cover. With your help I am making sure that they at least HEAR us!!! If you haven't already signed please do so at >>>>> https://t.co/dCKWC8XR3b

Over 43 million people have been medically classified as deaf or hard of hearing. I am one of those them. Of those 43 million, less than 1% are covered for hearing aids through insurance. Don't you think there's something wrong with that fact? Today I am imploring you to to stand up with me to the Goliath's in the Insurance industry and demand hearing aid coverage. US citizens are covered for other similar ailments but not hearing aids and it's time. In 2013, we should be a country that doesn't show bias but rather see's all medical conditions as worthy of coverage. Take a stand with me and sign my pledge https://t.co/dCKWC8XR3b |
