Ko Phil te tino apiha whakahaere putea me nga mahi o Colorado Access, a kua tata ki te 18 tau te roa o tana mahi ki te kamupene. I mua i tana taenga mai ki Colorado Access, i mahi a Phil mo te State of Colorado mo nga tau 21, tae atu ki nga tau e whitu i te Tari mo te Kaupapahere Hauora me te Putea. I te katoa, tata ki te 25 tau a Phil i whakatapua ki te Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid programme) me Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) taupori. Ko te noho hei waahanga o te otinga he hiahia. Ko Phil te reanga tuatoru o Coloradan, i whanau mai, i whakatipuhia i Denver. Tokotoru nga tamariki pakeke a Phil, he hoa tata katoa ratou inaianei, engari ko ana tamariki kei te noho ko ia anake, no reira ka aro a Phil ki tana kuri ki a Bru, ki tona kainga, ki tana kari, ki ana hoa, ki te korikori tinana me te haereere (“kei hea matou haere i muri?"). He kaingākau ia ki te puoro, he pai ki a ia te jazz, te toka, me te blues. Ko te waiata ora he mea tika! I tua atu i te mea he tino kaiwhakahaere me te tangata putea, he pai ki a ia te kata, he "ham!"
