Behind every statistic about Medicaid, there’s a grandmother managing diabetes. A single father accessing mental health care. A child with asthma getting the treatment that lets them run and play without fear. A young adult overcoming addiction with the support they couldn’t afford otherwise.
Right now, as Medicaid faces cuts and policy changes that threaten to strip coverage from hundreds of thousands of Ohioans, we cannot let these voices be silenced. We cannot allow real people: our neighbors, family members, coworkers, and friends: to become numbers on a budget sheet.
Listen to impactful stories from Medicaid recipients whose lives depend on this essential program. These aren’t just stories. They’re testaments to what’s at stake when we protect healthcare access: and what we stand to lose if we don’t.
