South Carolina currently ranks 49th in the nation for long-term care services. Is this true? This isn't just a statistic; it is a CRISIS affecting our parents, our neighbors, and the "sandwich generation" of families struggling to balance childcare with the overwhelming demands of elder care.

 

Our seniors face a healthcare system that is increasingly complex and inaccessible. Navigating the "red tape" of prior authorizations and fragmented physician care  often leaves vulnerable citizens in a state of confusion feeling dropped between the cracks.  . Meanwhile, the cost of aging is becoming unsustainable. Property taxes and flood insurance premiums are skyrocketing, seniors on fixed incomes are being forced to choose between keeping their lifelong homes and paying for essential medical support.

 

Furthermore, a severe workforce shortage has left local care facilities understaffed and overworked,threatening the quality of life for residents and placing an unfair burden on direct care workers. 

 

We need more than just intentions; we need Proven outcomes. As a businessman who founded five independent and innovative healthcare agencies,  that served thousands of seniors, Johnnie Garmon knows that the system is broken because it lacks practical, results-oriented leadership. It is time we prioritize health care over our sick care system with experienced innovators who know how to fix real problems.    

 

It is time to deliver Compassionate, sustainable solutions. By signing this petition, you are demanding that South Carolina’s leaders stop the waste and start prioritizing the dignity, safety, and financial security of our elderly citizens. Let’s make care simpler, easier, and more affordable for the families of the Lowcountry.
