Due to our efforts and those of many leaders in the Micronesian community the Hawaii government has decided to extend the medical coverage for critical care for another two years. This is a direct answer to prayer and we are so thankful to the Lord that He takes care of the poor and helpless. Please continue to pray about this issue, however. In the statement of the official from the State of Hawaii she said that those who had cancer before this extension will be covered for chemotherapy but new cases will not. I don't believe this is acceptable, particularly among the Marshallese who are owed medical care for as long as they continue to have birth defects, cancer and other medical issues because of environmental radiation brought on by the testing of the atom bomb on two of their atolls. Pray that the HI state officials will be able to understand the full picture. I still intend to challenge the federal government to live up to its obligations to the Republic of the Marshalls and the other two island nations.
In His hands,
Sandy Simpson
