Hi, my name is EffervescentGannet9. I'm worried about the current climate of the healthcare industry, most specifically at this moment, medical transportation provided by Medicaid of New York State. Because of recent circumstances combined with unnecessarily added interactions by those in paid positions, I am relieved to have come across this site in my research for protecting my rights as a beneficiary of this system let alone my autonomy and human rights.
