Kennadi Pretty, Griffin Cossey and Macy Bryant are three Independence County children born with special needs whose families, without receiving Medicaid benefits, would not otherwise be able to afford treatments, therapies and other medical expenses for their children. They fear a cut in Medicaid funding will affect these families and many others — as well as a loss of jobs in this area (physicians’ offices, therapy clinics, developmental daycares, dental offices, Arkansas Children’s Hospital and other hospitals in the area).
Their story, “The real faces of Medicaid…” is in today’s Batesville Daily Guard.
