As an honored guest of the First Lady Michelle Obama at the State of the Union Address, I had the opportunity to represent over 46 million uninsured Americans according to the media and 2008 census. Obvious, this number has significantly increased with the spike in unemployed Americans. I was chosen from statements that I made at a 2008 health care forum held at UCF which is 1 of over 3200 health care forums conducted nationwide.

As I prepared for my DC trip, I learned that the Hair Dresser, the Nail Specialists, the Realtor, the Taxi Cab Driver and the motivated Entrepreneur that I came in contact with have no insurance. These hard working Americans can not obtain health care and make too much money for state run programs. As premiums increase with insured Americans, everyone who has it is nervous to keep it. Think about that! With my first hand experiences, I look forward to working with State and Federal Governments and The White House to correct our health care infrastructures and implementing fair regulation in the coming weeks.

How will sitting with the First Lady for a couple of hours solve the real-world problems faced by Cindy Parker-Martinez and her family? Upon review of the Health Care proposals submitted by the White House, I have not seen tangible evidence that true reform is on the horizon. While I applaud the removal of insurance barriers created by pre-existing conditions, we also need Portability, Tort Reform, and protocols for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. When will we have true reform that positively impacts the Parker-Martinez family, Floridians, and Americans?
