Letter #714


From:   Matthew A Marks (Revised)

Location:   Eugene, Oregon

Hello Mr. Obama, First let me congratulate you on you revolutionary election. The reason why I am writing you this letter is for my friend Abby McDonald, she has epilepsy (I hope that’s how you spell it), and anyway she is a small town girl who is very sweet but sometimes has a hard time with her medical problem. She has two wonderful younger boys. My issue here though is that she went to apply for OHP which is Oregon health plan and they told her that she did not qualify for benefits. The medical issue that she has prevents her from moving forward in some areas of her life, like her job, and so on. So I guess the issue here is healthcare in my state for people who really need it, because what happened to her at the state office wasn’t right. Mr. Obama, if you could help her in any way to get the medical help that she deserves and needs I will owe you any favor that you ask for. When people’s lifes are at stake, is when I drop my foot and do something. Thank you for your time and God Bless the Unites States of America. Matthew Anthony Marks Eugene OR Resident for life. P.S. Forgive me on the spelling
