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
