My older brother is six, and my older sister died when she was 12 days old. I was born with the same genetic condition she had, despite doctors telling my parents that it wouldn't happen again. I spent eight months in the NICU before coming home, I get the majority of my nutrition by G tube, i have two genetic mutations, and have Still's Disease. The monthly injection to control my Still's disease alone costs $16,000. I am one of the lucky ones. My family has private insurance. But even with that insurance, the copays for all of my medicines & specialists would cost my family about $2,000/month were it not for Medicaid as my secondary insurance. It's LITERALLY kept a roof over my head. On some days, like today, my pain is so bad, I can hardly walk. And I'm three. I'm also primarily nonverbal. So my mom has to speak for me. Life is hard. But having that worry taken away, it helps my mom sleep at night. She knows I'll always get the care I need. Please help us ensure that will always be the case. #IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1496935050167-ZZ1MXLLU8EFQ2DNLCWQO/IMG_1238.JPG Home https://iammedicaid.com/campaign daily 0.75 2018-06-07 https://iammedicaid.com/join-us daily 0.75 2018-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1496934813306-U9AHUJB0L8DWSVUEPD5X/IMG_1234.JPG Join Us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1469822584917-RJH8XJPDUNCW4PKPLAFJ/CmPyR3aUIAAk-yx.jpg Join Us!

Terrified that if Alabama's looming Medicaid crisis isn't averted millions will suffer. Of course the poor and disenfranchised will be neglected; but even people blessed to have health coverage and access to a free clinic provided by their employer (like my family and me) will be affected. Having coverage is worthless when hospitals close and doctors leave the state.

My name is Owen and I am 5 years old. My past, present and future depend on Medicaid. I had a hemorrhagic stroke around birth. My stroke had the domino effect in my health. With all these doctor and therapy appointments my Mom needed to quit her job so she can navigate our way through all this. My Dad works very hard to support our family. Without fully funding Medicaid you will close many chapters in my book of life. I will not get the services I so desperately need to learn how to be independent. Please do not cut my journey short by not fully funding Medicaid. #IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1469822574043-VGYJ8PKCQY266CP3S0Y6/13087379_10101580572936166_6162931621617086886_n.jpg Join Us! My name is Micah. My older brother is six, and my older sister died when she was 12 days old. I was born with the same genetic condition she had, despite doctors telling my parents that it wouldn't happen again. I spent eight months in the NICU before coming home, I get the majority of my nutrition by G tube, i have two genetic mutations, and have Still's Disease. The monthly injection to control my Still's disease alone costs $16,000. I am one of the lucky ones. My family has private insurance. But even with that insurance, the copays for all of my medicines & specialists would cost my family about $2,000/month were it not for Medicaid as my secondary insurance. It's LITERALLY kept a roof over my head. On some days, like today, my pain is so bad, I can hardly walk. And I'm three. I'm also primarily nonverbal. So my mom has to speak for me. Life is hard. But having that worry taken away, it helps my mom sleep at night. She knows I'll always get the care I need. Please help us ensure that will always be the case. #IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1496935050167-ZZ1MXLLU8EFQ2DNLCWQO/IMG_1238.JPG Join Us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1460733379969-VRBFQCIF7KECMMK5DU64/shutterstock_192810617.jpg Join Us! https://iammedicaid.com/the-people daily 0.75 2016-10-05 https://iammedicaid.com/the-campaign-orignial daily 0.75 2016-08-02 https://iammedicaid.com/home-take-action daily 0.75 2016-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1496934813306-U9AHUJB0L8DWSVUEPD5X/IMG_1234.JPG Home - Take Action https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1469822584917-RJH8XJPDUNCW4PKPLAFJ/CmPyR3aUIAAk-yx.jpg Home - Take Action My cancer in remission!

Of course the poor and disenfranchised will be neglected; but even people blessed to have health coverage and access to a free clinic provided by their employer (like my family and me) will be affected. Having coverage is worthless when hospitals close and doctors leave the state. Hit up your lawmaker. ‪#‎IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1469822581875-5KCSPVV07JZUG7FCD3IC/CgdN4VnWcAA20B6.jpg Home - Take Action People depend on Medicaid for their very survival.

My past, present and future depend on Medicaid. I had a hemorrhagic stroke around birth. My stroke had the domino effect in my health. With all these doctor and therapy appointments my Mom needed to quit her job so she can navigate our way through all this. My Dad works very hard to support our family. Without fully funding Medicaid you will close many chapters in my book of life. I will not get the services I so desperately need to learn how to be independent. Please do not cut my journey short by not fully funding Medicaid. #IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1469822574043-VGYJ8PKCQY266CP3S0Y6/13087379_10101580572936166_6162931621617086886_n.jpg Home - Take Action My name is Micah. My older brother is six, and my older sister died when she was 12 days old. I was born with the same genetic condition she had, despite doctors telling my parents that it wouldn't happen again. I spent eight months in the NICU before coming home, I get the majority of my nutrition by G tube, i have two genetic mutations, and have Still's Disease. The monthly injection to control my Still's disease alone costs $16,000. I am one of the lucky ones. My family has private insurance. But even with that insurance, the copays for all of my medicines & specialists would cost my family about $2,000/month were it not for Medicaid as my secondary insurance. It's LITERALLY kept a roof over my head. On some days, like today, my pain is so bad, I can hardly walk. And I'm three. I'm also primarily nonverbal. So my mom has to speak for me. Life is hard. But having that worry taken away, it helps my mom sleep at night. She knows I'll always get the care I need. Please help us ensure that will always be the case. #IamMedicaid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/570c3c027c65e488c843ebf3/1496935050167-ZZ1MXLLU8EFQ2DNLCWQO/IMG_1238.JPG Home - Take Action https://iammedicaid.com/toolkit daily 0.75 2018-06-07
