Alabama Arise Profiles Man Losing Medicaid After Son Turns 19
In a personal narrative published by Alabama Arise, the advocacy group recounts how Jeff Mooneyham, a former nurse practitioner in Crossville, Alabama, lost his Medicaid coverage on Oct. 31 after his adopted son turned 19 and aged off the program. Jeff lives with heart failure, diabetes and persistent mental illness, cannot work, and has a disability application pending; without Medicaid he cannot afford insulin, heart medications or psychiatric care.
