Sen. Kirk's stroke offers him new Medicaid perspective

If you are one of his constituents, you need to have him sponsor a national Stroke Plan, it can be copied directly from the National Alzheimers' Plan.
He also needs to be educated on the need for NINDS funding to find hyperacute therapies that  prevent a lot of the disability. Tell him he can become the Tipping Point for Stroke.  I never heard anything after Senator Tim Johnson from South  Dakota had his stroke so he let his opportunity to be a stroke spokesperson slip thru his fingers.

Sen. Mark Kirk's stroke has awakened him to what people on Medicaid experience in their rehabilitation efforts, he said.
The Hill: Sen. Kirk Says Stroke Changed Perspective On Medicaid
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said his debilitating stroke has sparked a new interest in the experience of people on Medicaid. In an interview published Wednesday, Kirk said that most Illinois residents insured through the low-income health program would be eligible for just 11 rehabilitation sessions following a stroke. "Had I been limited to that I would have had no chance to recover like I did. So unlike before suffering the stroke, I'm much more focused on Medicaid and what my fellow citizens face," Kirk told the Chicago Sun Times (Vibeck, 1/2).
