Marie
Nassau County, FL
As a single parent with serious health issues, Marie* has relied on Medicaid to cover her essential medications and therapy. That coverage has now abruptly ended.
“I was floored! I could not believe it. The timing could not be worse,” Marie says. “I had finally managed to change to a new primary who would hopefully get the tests needed for my hip pain and coordinate my care.”
* Marie is a pseudonym of a Florida resident who wanted to share her story without using her real name
