New from Code WACK, One woman’s struggle for care in America's South, without Medicaid

from Nurse Talk · host Nurse Talk

This time on Code WACK! Now that the COVID health emergency has ended and millions of Americans are losing Medicaid coverage, we’re thinking about the nearly two million Americans who never got it in the first place because their state did not adopt the Medicaid expansion back in 2014. How did this affect them? To find out, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes about radio personality and performance artist, Eliska Hahn, who was struggling with multiple sclerosis while living in a state that did not accept the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. How did she avoid financial ruin? This oldie but goodie episode is an excellent reminder of why we need Medicare for All in America.
