READERS have had their say after a hospital worker called for a day of remembrance dedicated to those who lost their lives due to Covid-19. Gemma Humes, who works at Furness General Hospital, said she was saddened to see first-hand how families were not able to see loved ones receiving treatment for the virus before their deaths. Now she is urging the Government to consider a memorial day on March 23 every year to remember those who died from the virus, just as Remembrance Sunday commemorates fallen soldiers. Miss Humes, 35, has written to Furness MP Simon Fell to campaign for the day and received his support.
A year later, the Johnsons applied again, and again Pine County said no.
Finally, worn down by constant anxiety and repeated trips to the emergency room, the Johnsons turned to their last resort: They sold their house and moved 40 miles west to Kanabec County.
Two months later, Michaela was approved for more than $60,000 a year in home care and medical equipment.
“You get to the point where you’re told ‘no’ so many times that you have no choice: You have to pack up and leave,” Michelle Johnson said from the family’s new home in Mora.
The Johnsons are among tens of thousands of Minnesota families whose lives are upended by the arbitrary and confusing way Minnesota distributes money designed to help people with severe disabilities. This coveted assistance, disbursed by counties in a form known as Medicaid “waivers,’’ supplies people who have qualifying disabilities with more than $3 billion a year.
