Good Medicaid experience

I helped a college student to get Washington state Medicaid (she's estranged from her family, who cut her off their plan), and now I've been looking for doctors for her.

She needs to see an eye doc right away, and I found on her plan an ophthalmologist nearby, who is also a professor at U. Washington. And for a regular doc, I found a local clinic associated with Swedish Hospital, a top hospital in Seattle.

So far, so good!

Thank you, Obamacare!

Part of the work I do is to help folks with a mental illness to apply and become eligible for Medicaid.
