A Westchester woman has started a nationwide campaign in the hope of a revisal to her health care status.

Geri Mariano, who has dwarfism, was the first disabled person to attend Armonk public schools in the 1970s. She's turning 50 and says she is facing one of her biggest challenges yet: one she says puts her health care in jeopardy.

Her struggle started 10 months ago, when she says she began feeling the impact from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's signed executive order number 42. The order changed Medicaid eligibility that covers people who have long-term disabilities, but not Mariano's form of dwarfism. As a result, she can no longer see a doctor who had treated her for over 20 years.

Mariano started an online campaign called Letters for Geri, which has gathered signatures from hundreds of people to send to Albany to help revise her health care status.

"Not every case of someone on Medicaid fits into a tiny box. There are unique situations and they have to be willing to have discretionary thinking," she says.
