Foster says, “I knew what I wanted to write. A heartbreaking tale of sadness. I wanted to spill my guts. I wanted catharsis to find its way into my fingers, and let me leave it all there on the page.” But instead, Foster wrote a song of hope.

A video of Foster playing this song in Joplin found its way on to YouTube and the response required that Foster take notice. He wanted to turn the attention on the song into a way to raise awareness and funds to help Joplin.

This led Foster to work with Nashville-based producer, Vince Romanelli, to track a studio version of “Hometown.” Foster has partnered with The United Way with all funds generated by the sale of this song going toward the rebuilding efforts in Joplin and beyond.

Valerie Searcy, Director of Marketing for the United Way of Southwest Missouri and Southeastern Kansas says, “This partnership with Foster is special because he is from Joplin. He knows what the city looked liked before and he can share in everyone’s vision for the future. We are so privileged to be able to partner in such a personal way to help our community and hometown.”

Foster says, “I hope this song keeps the storm-ravaged communities in our hearts and minds, and brings some solidarity between those directly affected, and the nation that stood aghast. This event will most likely be the historical benchmark that will define the youngest generation that lived through it first-hand. I hope that generation’s message is one of hope and empowerment, not despair.”

“Hometown” is receiving a global response of digital downloads while, domestically, Foster is being contacted by radio stations, eager to hear the story behind the song that is finding its way into rotation.

“Being a part of Joplin’s story is a tragic blessing” comments Foster. “In a time of tragedy, you come to see the very best of people and I can only hope that everyone can experience the outpouring of kindness that we’ve felt over the past few weeks.”

Foster has found that the reach of this song extends beyond the perimeter of the small Missouri town that was its inspiration. He hopes that “Hometown” can also encourage people that are rebuilding their hometowns in Tuscaloosa, Memphis, Fayetteville, New Orleans, and beyond, bringing hope to hometowns everywhere.

The song “Hometown” is now available on iTunes and on www.kentonfoster.com . This song is also available by request on radio stations nationwide.

The federal and state laws governing the Medicaid program have been described by one court as the regulatory equivalent of the “Serbonian bog.” The U.S. Supreme Court itself called the Medicaid statutes “an aggravated assault on the English language, resistant to attempts to understand it.” The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals described the Medicaid Act as one of the “most completely impenetrable texts within human experience” and “dense reading of the most tortuous kind.”

When the brilliant minds of our judicial system are admittedly tied up in knots trying to understand the Medicaid rules, what hope is there for the rest of us?

“I know what people are up against, how confusing it all is, and I wanted to find a way to get people the answers to their Medicaid questions as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said Heiser. “In this Internet age, it just makes sense to have an online forum–also called a bulletin board – where people can post questions and experts can answer them, all for free.”

The new forum, located at www.MedicaidSecretsForum.com, enables visitors to the site to search through and read prior questions and answers about the rules and planning techniques of paying for nursing homes and qualifying for Medicaid. A free registration entitles the visitor to post questions and comment on others’ questions.

“I’ve already published a book explaining all the Medicaid rules and the latest planning techniques to save money when faced with a family member entering a nursing home. But I started to get emails and phone calls with specific questions from readers. So I’ve started an online forum where these questions can be put in one place, available for everyone to read,” said Heiser.

To spread the work Heiser has assembled a team of Medicaid specialist attorneys and other advisors who will help with answering questions. His team includes 10 elder law attorneys who also serve as the editors of state editions of his “Medicaid Secrets” book.
