A cancer survivor hoped to work — then she lost her Medicaid disability coverage

A cancer survivor who had hoped to return to work is now facing uncertainty after losing her Medicaid disability coverage. As states implement new Medicaid work requirements, determining eligibility for those with disabilities has become a complex issue. This situation highlights the broader challenge states face in balancing work incentives with the healthcare needs of disabled individuals, raising concerns about the potential impact on those who rely on Medicaid for critical health support. The implications could affect thousands of people nationwide who depend on Medicaid for coverage due to disabilities.
