Chrystal S. / Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Medicaid was Chrystal’s only option for health coverage when she was a full-time student in Milwaukee, but she was almost denied it when her scholarships and education grants were counted as income.
Without Medicaid Chrystal would have been unable to afford the inhaler she needed to protect her from asthma attacks and medical appointments for her general well-being.
Now a college graduate with a job that provides benefits, Chrystal is no longer on Medicaid and believes the program was a great help to her when she needed it.
“I knew I couldn’t get coverage on my own when I was a student,” Chrystal says. “Medicaid was really beneficial for me because I knew that I would have medical coverage and that I didn’t have to worry about it interfering with my school expenses.”
