Bobina update: She. Is. Home. The shelter has worked hard to find what works for this girl, & she has been matched!! Rubber mats have made her a walking machine. @darthbluesky.bsky.social is hibernating real soon so wanted to end the season on a high note! Wobbly, yes! Given up on love, no! Xo Bobs

Bobina update (CW - wobbly kitty syndrome depicted): Still seeking her family, and trying a new accessible litter box. Cerebellar hypoplasia is no joke, but she’s the happiest girl as long as you provide 1, snuggles, and 2, wormies.

CW wobbly kitty, but she gets around great, and never gives up for scritches and snuggles. Also, look at that foofy tail!

Meet Bobina. She has “wobbly cat syndrome,” a condition that affects her balance. It’s the only life she’s ever known, & is a happy, silly girl who loves snuggling. Sadly, she’s landed back at the shelter. Note: bored by health policy 😂

- Doc ppl have a 5yr wait for Medicaid
- Dems want affordability & accessibility extended *for those who qualify.*

@darthbluesky.bsky.social update: So sad to report that Frankie is still @ the shelter today, 9/29. But that just means his fam is still out there! If you know anyone in the SW who wants a silly floof, check out his profile (he’s still open, give them a call!)

@darthbluesky.bsky.social can we all cross our fingers for Frankie today? He was in a house fire and has been at the shelter for many weeks. He’s such a love bug, he deserves the best family and I think they may have arrived today. I go back Monday and I’m hoping he’ll be gone to his forever home 🤞

Ironically, I’m celebrating my 14th cancerversary today - the day my bone tumor was cut out of my knee. And I prob wouldnt be here without leucovorin. Osteosarcoma patients depend on this drug for the best outcomes. The inevitable shortages will terrorize patients and even endanger their lives.

I read to the shy cats at the local shelter on a weekly basis and am training them to review their own health policy papers. Let us know if you ever need an expert paw!

TRIPLE vaxxed! So excited to get my COVID shot today, along w flu & tetanus (was due -every 10 years, y’all!). If you can, I highly recommend doing it now. I usually wait a bit longer, but ACIP (federal vax committee) meets next week, & we can’t predict what the RFK admin will do as far as access.

There are 3 weeks between these 2 pics. In the 1st, I’m about to be uninsured. In the 2nd, I’m about to be diagnosed with bone cancer. Thanks to the ACA, I was able to join my parents’ plan and get the care I needed to survive some really crummy treatment. Happy bday to the law that saved my life.

Calling your senator WORKS (I don’t have one-taxation without representation, y’all) and only takes a few seconds. “Hi, I am a constituent from [zip code] and I demand Senator ____ vote no on the continuing resolution.”
Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 will patch you through to the right office.

“This change will directly benefit people enrolled without subsidies who pay the full premium for their health insurance.” So less than 10% of enrollees will benefit. This will essentially kill the program 😞

Obamacare just keeps on giving. 23.6 million people have enrolled in ACA marketplace coverage so far, with a week left before the deadline. That’s MILLIONS more than enrolled in all of last open enrollment period. Spread the word - if you’re not covered, 2025 health plans are available until 1/15.

Thanks to an extension, there’s still a day left to get covered for Jan. 1, 2025 via HealthCare.gov. Still have time until Jan. 15, but if you want a *full* year of coverage, sign up now!
