Health care catch-22

by Matt Hall—Missouri

I was canvassing the other day when I came across a older lady that was sitting on her front porch. She was hooked up to a oxygen tank. When I started to talk to her about the issue of health care she started to open up about what has been happening to her. She told me that she has just been kicked off of Medicaid because her husband makes too much money. She then went on to tell me how her husband was just getting fired from his job because of medical reasons. So in the end, they could get health care because of his job and he couldn’t keep his job because of health care. I don’t get how we could let that happen.
