Thank you, Colleen!<br>Sorry I missed the beginning of the conversation. I look forward to the video archive. -Dana<br>
Archive is available now Dana.
Just ran across the video on YouTube. It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OaH5MdGTng.
Just wondering @missyb57 how Obamacare changed Medicaid so that it messed up your government-paid health care. Could you expand on your theme?
Well mr predictable mentor i find it amazing that you were the only one with a snarky reply So i assume that you have decided that i am one of societies useless people since i have to avail of the Medicaid system. You dont know me or my life. If you are a mentor for this group ill be leaving.
Hi Missy, I'm sorry that @predictable's comment offended. However, I believe he was genuinely asking how things have changed for you. What government-paid access did you once have that you no longer have access to? For example, I believe you said you don't have access to many of the rehab strategies mentioned in yesterday's talk. Do you have access to any? Help us understand your situation.
Thank you! I embedded it in the original News Network post. ☺ -Dana<br><br>Opioid crisis: Video with Mayo experts available for media<br><br>
