This month marks Medicaid's 59th birthday. As we approach this huge milestone, I can’t help but reflect on stories like B.’s. It’s a testament to the countless lives saved by Medicaid over the years and the power of policy to impact people for the better. Give B.’s story a listen.
Medicaid is the largest source of health coverage in the United States and a lifeline for millions of people. Without Medicaid, B. wouldn’t have sought the health care that saved her life. B. was born with four heart defects but didn’t find out until she was 35. Medicaid covered the screening that enabled her doctors to spot her heart issues and the surgery to fix them. Hear B.’s story, and others like it, in ACAP and NORC at the University of Chicago’s “Voices of Medicaid Enrollees” report: https://bit.ly/46aVjcs #Medicaid
