Medicaid Unwinding: The Unseen Crisis Hurting Florida's Most Vulnerable

As the dust settles from the pandemic, a new crisis is unfolding in Florida—one that's hitting our most vulnerable citizens the hardest. The recent rollback of Medicaid protections, known as the "unwinding," has led to a surge in disenrollment's, but the situation is particularly dire for individuals with disabilities.

The KFF Health News report paints a bleak picture: essential home health services for disabled Floridians are being abruptly terminated due to administrative errors, miscommunication, and a complex eligibility review process. For individuals like Jacqueline Saa, who relies on a home health aide for basic daily tasks, this loss of coverage isn't just an inconvenience; it's a threat to her independence and well-being.

This crisis isn't just about numbers; it's about real people struggling to navigate a system that's supposed to support them. The stories from Florida highlight the human cost of bureaucratic red tape and the urgent need for reform.
