I am now Medicaid savvy and the staff and security at the Chinatown HRA office were friendly and very helpful. All went well: Access-a-Ride arrived on time to pick me up, and I had a lovely lady driver brig me back uptown. Staples still has photocopy/scanning issues that took more time than needed, but I got my tasks finished, and I am home.
Tomorrow our DR ChasSmith shows up, and I am looking forward to his visit.
