Amy Cervantes+FollowThe Day Our Medicaid Was CutMy mom had been treating her diabetes at a community clinic for three years when her Medicaid was suddenly cut this spring. It wasn’t because she got rich—she took a few weeks of temporary cleaning work, and the system flagged her income. The doctor still wrote the prescription. The pharmacy quoted a price equal to half our rent. We sat in the car doing the math and bought only half the medication. On paper, it’s a fair review. In real life, fairness comes at the cost of health. #MedicaidCuts #HealthcareReality #CostOfLiving #PolicyImpact41Share
