Nancy R. / Las Vegas, Nevada
Nancy was forced to leave home while still in high school. After leaving home, Nancy found herself in need of health care and needed to be transported to the hospital. Hesitant because of expenses she couldn’t afford, her nurse convinced her to sign up for Medicaid.
Medicaid fully covered Nancy’s medical bills and allowed to her to receive the care she lacked when she was younger. She was also able to receive mental health care as she dealt with the trauma of her past home life.
Nancy will soon be off Medicaid and receive health care through her full-time job and will start as a college student. The help Nancy received from Medicaid inspired her to study medical billing when she goes to college. She wants to help others learn about Medicaid and its benefits.
“It’s sad that so many people don’t know about Medicaid,” Nancy says. “It helped me when I was alone in the world.”
