On May 11th, Hawaii announced that the Federal government ended the COVID pandemic since its decline worldwide. Hawaii was the last State to recognize that bit of news as our legislatures were preparing its constituents on how it’ll change the vaccination program and how Medicaid recipients and seniors will cease on September 24th. As a senior citizen in early June, my three insurers notified me that they’d be medically reassessing my coverages. In mid-July, they gave me their questionable answers. All my Hilo doctors come from Honolulu main offices. On August 13th, they reevaluated my medical condition via my medical insurance revised update, effecting many changes. Last interaction with my doctors and my insurance carriers, were on September 4th.
Due to diligent neighbors noting my absence from my front lanai, paramedics broke my stained glass front door finding me unconscious and I was admitted to Hilo Hospital on September 30th, presently rehabilitating. I've been in contact with my attorney regarding a medical malpractice lawsuit. That'll place me on the prosecutor's side of the courtroom. Attorneys representing my medical insurance companies, and my doctors, will be sitting on the defense side of the courtroom. Undoubtedly, that'll be the same side where Luigi Mangione will be sitting too.
Manus-LATIN-Hand. Festus-LATIN-Festive. Infestus-OLD-Hostile. I've created my points of circumstances from its issue to its hopeful resolve. Luigi's resolve took a deadly turn and compounded his issue.
As Luigi written his manifesto that took a wayward course. Write your interpretation of what my mnifesto might be, OR write your own manifesto, either festive or hostile. Those clueless about Luigi Mangione, check the internet...
