Episode Details

Indiana families with disabled children are facing devastating cuts to Medicaid waivers, leaving kids without critical therapies and caregivers scrambling to survive. A new state assessment tool, despite unchanged eligibility rules, has triggered a sixfold spike in denials—sending parents into panic as therapy hours vanish and incomes collapse. Advocates report rampant errors and delays, while state officials claim they’re reviewing cases for fairness. For families like Ruth Hevelone’s, the crisis was only averted through intervention from a former FSSA employee now running for office. This isn’t just bureaucracy—it’s a life-or-death gap in support for children who can’t wait.
