I'm not sure which bill I'm commenting on entirely. All I know for sure is I'm a type 1 diabetic of 30 years. And our government seems to care very little about my health or the insane costs of the medication that I absolutely have to have to live. Or getting the care I need. Which has been expensive, and has kept me struggling to survive pay rent or see the many doctors I need to see. I am ready to share my story. About my lows where I wake up in the hospital then wind up with an $8000 hospital bill as well as a $4000 bill for a 10 minute ambulance ride. Or about my highs, or just about the struggle of being a Diabetic who was uninsured who struggles to survive in a government that seems to care more about pharmaceutical companies profits than it's citizens health. I have quite a bit to say on the subject and my struggles as a diabetic.

After reviewing the proposed floor amendment that would direct the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the State Corporation to conduct a study of methods to better financial exploitation of vulnerable and elderly adults, the Virginia Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (VAELA) is in favor of the bill. However, we would ask that the proposed floor amendment be further amended to add VAELA to the list of stakeholders to be included in the work group for this study. Thank you.
