I live with my adult son Corin in Southeastern PA. My son and I both have disabilities. Medicaid has been a great help to both of us, and until recently, we both received SNAP. Corin has had the same part time job for the past year and a half. He tried to comply when new and burdensome documentation requirements were added, but when there was missing paperwork, his food stamps were completely cut off. Now, it is difficult for our household to buy enough healthy food. Also, following the closure of Crozer hospital last May, Corin lost access to primary care. We have both been seeking information about providers that would be a good fit and accept Corin’s insurance, but the few that do have no availability for new patients. In the midst of these concerns that so many of us have, I believe we can find resolve to fight for a system in which food and health care are seen as a human right. We need a system in which each person is seen as a whole human being, with all that they may need, and all that they have to offer.
