SAN DIEGO
There were times when Safia Haidari and her family didn’t know where to turn to get help with her Type 1 diabetes.
For years after she was diagnosed with diabetes at age 8, Haidari’s family had trouble locating the right doctors and pharmacies. They had come from Afghanistan and were covered by Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid health care program, but they had difficulties getting help navigating the health care system.
As she grew older she faced some of the same issues. Now 25, Haidari, who lives in San Diego, said she found the whole health care process intimidating until recently.
Reynolds is an affordable housing advocate, and the strategy and communication adviser to the San Diego Eviction Prevention Collaborative. She lives in Hillcrest.
Imagine a scary public health world in which grocery stores and restaurants saw a health inspector only if someone complained and the inspector came weeks later. Where when you refused to pay a restaurant bill because bugs crawled out of your rice, you ended up in court, without an attorney, and lost your case. And where, after that loss, no other grocery store or restaurant would sell you food at all, your kids went hungry, and your family’s health and your credit were hurt for years.
