South Carolina is sick. We are sick and tired of being told nonsense by providers, being told no by insurers and watching our Social Security being stolen, right out from under us. Take Lyme Disease- SCDHEC says we don't have that here. The SC Docs rarely test for it, but testing is scewed anyway. ( See Connecticut Attorney General's website for details.) Now DHEC wants you to believe that Bird Flu can travel to SC from Asia but Lyme can't come down I 95. Insurers are ruling the roost with their treatment decisions on each and every disease by establishing " standards of care". So now insurers insist on " cookbook " medicine that does NOT work. They call it evidence based, but the evidence says it doesn't work. Then finally, yes indeed, being the first and only disabled American to return to work with my lifetime ( and misdiagnosed for thirty plus year illness that will NEVER go away), I have evidence my surrendered SSA account was paid to someone other than me the entire eleven years I worked, plus the almost four years the Columbia SSA office made me wait to beg to get the opporuntity to restore my benefits. I was punished for working with my lifetime illness, currently have a written threat to terminate my SSA benefits and still have not been paid the money the SSA owes me. That's because there are two of me in their system. Think subsidies, think Part D, think enormous fraud coming from South Carolina inside the SSA system. That's enough to keep the South Carolina population SICK. You want details, I got em. Ahh Fits you are tickling my funny bone here.
South Carolina is sick. We are sick and tired of being told nonsense by providers, being told no by insurers and watching our Social Security being stolen, right out from under us.
Take Lyme Disease- SCDHEC says we don’t have that here. The SC Docs rarely test for it, but testing is scewed anyway. ( See Connecticut Attorney General’s website for details.) Now DHEC wants you to believe that Bird Flu can travel to SC from Asia but Lyme can’t come down I 95.
Insurers are ruling the roost with their treatment decisions on each and every disease by establishing ” standards of care”. So now insurers insist on ” cookbook ” medicine that does NOT work. They call it evidence based, but the evidence says it doesn’t work.
Then finally, yes indeed, being the first and only disabled American to return to work with my lifetime ( and misdiagnosed for thirty plus year illness that will NEVER go away), I have evidence my surrendered SSA account was paid to someone other than me the entire eleven years I worked, plus the almost four years the Columbia SSA office made me wait to beg to get the opporuntity to restore my benefits.

That’s enough to keep the South Carolina population SICK.
You want details, I got em.

Also how about raising the taxes on smokes too ? This is what most of the states do that are ahead of us on the list.

It's almost like a perfect storm of bad scenarios. But the better question is, how exactly do you expect public health statistics to trend better without public health programs? Are you just hoping everyone wakes up tomorrow feeling healthy? Even if everyone were to become a granola eating, non-smoking, non-drinking exercise buff, we would still have significant genetic and inherited diseases to deal with, not to mention infectious diseases and cancers not caused by personal lifestyle choices.

I would be interested in knowing what his suggestions and/or plans for dealing with this deplorable state of affairs are. After all, he, unlike the legislature, was elected by all the citizens of the state and should be accountable to all of them.
