Story

Please tell us how you, your family or your community has benefited from Medicaid coverage for dental care, vision care, and transportation assistance: I am diabetic with that diagnosis I need to see a dentist and eye doctor regularly to protect my vision and my health from the diabetes. Thankfully I have a vehicle but I know a lot of friends who do not have vehicles and can’t afford a vehicle because of the insurance is so high and need and use the transportation to get to and from their doctor’s appointment

Please tell us how eliminating these benefits would affect you, your family, or your community: Prior to the Obamacare coming in I had 5 teeth that needed to be pulled and do not have the money to be able to get those pulled and was in pain continuously because of the damage to my teeth from the diabetes I also have experienced eye damage because of not being able to go to the doctor and the eye dr. Unlike Governor Bevin we who are poor do not have the luxury of having unlimited insurance protection for life.
