It seems Jindal and the LA legislature played around with LACHIP, a program that has worked for years. "Income limit for LaChips Affordable plan passed with 300% income limit by the legislature was changed to 250% by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)". Who is CMS? LA goes from 1 single payer plan to a PPO managed by a third party administrator and something called Family Opportunity Act (FOA) for the disabled. I am well informed and have not read anything about these changes. In fact, I cannot even understand the FAQ’s, I just have more questions. So I wrote Senator Landrieu.

The Gulf Coast needs your help. We were in a MANDATORY evacuation mode during the third anniversary of Katrina, no doubt because of the condition of the levees. I physically checked, Gustav water did not touch the toe of the lake levees so this was not really a test, contrary to what the Corps indicates. All the money spent has not done one thing to rebuild the barrier islands, restore wetlands or create incentives to raise buildings. What has been spent? What would it cost to do those three things? Obama, what about you? Has the good will and the tax funds of the citizens of this country been squandered on crony private contractors?

Hurricane season begins June 1 and Mother Nature is screaming. First, the cyclone in Burma, fires in FL, tornados all over the place and now an earthquake in China, I feel nothing but dread. Can we be protected? Not entirely, but the Corp could at least try to accomplish what the Dutch have mastered.

Are you one of the "worried well"? http://www.bestofneworleans.com/... I know I am one of the "worried well". I am fortunate enough to be able to get help and spend much time, money and energy researching medical and legal matters or in consultation with the mental health professionals and attorneys. But, even with my resources questions remain: "What will the next day bring? What about unexpected catastrophe? Will all the energy invested in rebuilding be pulled out from under us? What about the next disaster?"

This is my first diary, lurker since 2004 and commenter beginning in 2005, I think. I am a Katrina survivor and live in LA 01. Never wrote my Katrina story as it never ends and the lack of justice just goes on and on, a new insult every single day. I will give a brief overview of my initial Katrina experience.
