Laticia A. / Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Laticia grew up in the foster system, which gave her access to Medicaid coverage. The coverage has supported her through many hospital visits and provided needed medication for a number of gastrointestinal problems, as well as therapy for mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
Now age 24 with a bachelor’s degree in social work, she is working as a behavioral health specialist.
Laticia will soon transition to private insurance, but she remains an advocate for the services the program can provide.
“I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for Medicaid,” she says. “I wouldn’t be able to afford the life-savings treatments that I’ve received through Medicaid.”
