SeattlePI has an interesting story about Capitol Hill resident Kami Bodily. Bodily lost her mother to lupus when she was 15. Today, Bodily struggles with lupus as well and she is without insurance.
Bodily did have health insurance at one time but, due to a lapse in coverage, she can no longer get health insurance because of her pre-existing condition.
Despite the chronic pain she suffers that can at times keep her bed ridden she is active in improving health care coverage legislation for everyone. Now she has been invited out to Washington D.C. with a small group to meet up with Senator Patty Murray and to talk to members of Congress.
Bodily has been invited to Washington D.C. to talk at the Congressional hearing about her health condition and advocate for the health care legislation. She will be joined by another, Marcelas Owens, an 11 year old who also lost his mother at a young age.
Watch for these two at the Congressional hearings on Wednesday, March 10th. Good luck to them and thank you for caring.
