Alisa S. / Sioux City, IA
Alisa learned how Medicaid can help people get the care they need while working as a medical receptionist in high school, but never imagined she would one day need that support.
Alisa began to experience overlapping health challenges that forced her to stop working, including early onset menopause that caused severe osteoarthritis to develop in her hips and mental health issues.
Enrolling in Medicaid helped Alisa access mental healthcare, hormone replacement therapy, and a hip replacement, which eventually allowed her to resume day-to-day activities and return to work full-time.
“Medicaid was my lifeline. Now I'm working a job, I’ve been able to reclaim my mental health, and can access the care I need.”
