Christopher

Age 13, Delaware

Meet Christopher. Christopher loves to be out in his community, living life to the fullest. Christopher also has severe cerebral palsy. Medicaid helps pay for the medical equipment he needs to live at home and be a part of the community he loves.

Christopher's mother, Nancy, says that without protections for people with pre-existing conditions, bans on lifetime caps on care, and the support of Medicaid: "My son would die, I would have to surrender him to an institution and he wouldn't survive. Such a traumatic transition would kill him. Our children have mothers who go far beyond to care for them, but we can't do this alone."
