Missourians travel to D.C. to lobby for health care reform
Thursday, June 25, 2009
COLUMBIA — Wendy Brumbaugh said she knows how difficult and frustrating getting access to a doctor can be.
Her job in Shelbyville involves counseling lower-income rural Missourians with financial problems, so she sees their lives up close. A major challenge they face is distance and access to health care.
“We would have to drive at least 2 ½ hours to see a cardiac specialist from where I live,” Brumbaugh said.
Her husband is diabetic, she said, so that often means driving to Columbia to see a specialist.
