    "content": "She is an advocate. By the time professionals like this have gone to as many institutions as possible to look for help for these autoimmune diseases, how much more is the suffering of those who do not have access to medicine, communication, institutions, or the ability to write Petitions like this? Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard for yourself the complexities and difficulties that they go through because of the same, yet they are not recognized when it comes to insurance covers. You must have watched the United States of America (USA) elections and seen the conversation that they had. I have been following the United States of America (USA) elections since 2004 and the conversation has always been about healthcare, insurance cover, protection and Obamacare. Their conversation has always been about protecting the vulnerable in society and making sure that their citizens get medical attention. The petitioners have said that their medication cost up to Kshs100,000 a week, which is expensive. Very few families can afford that. I am glad that many people have faith in this Senate. They brought this Petition to the Senate because they believe that the relevant Committee of this House will reach the institutions that have been unresponsive. I hope that this Petition will be considered and we will get the necessary intervention which will ensure that our counties and the national Government play a key role in giving these patients and others proper medical attention and medical cover. I beg to lay this Petition and request my colleagues to give it the highest consideration, just as Sen. Sakaja has done in his Committee. I would want to know the recommendations given by the Committee that will deal with this Petition. I hope that I will be notified when that Committee will be meeting the relevant institutions such as the Ministry of Health and the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF)."
