Crain’s Cleveland Business recently published an opinion piece written by Joseph & Mary's Home Executive Director Anna Stormer. The Op-Ed is titled “Cleveland must be brave enough to care." You can learn more about the Op-Ed by visiting jmhome.org/crainsopedannastormer.
Anna was inspired to write the Op-Ed after reflecting on the number of Ohioans – more than 160,000 – who have lost Affordable Care Act marketplace coverage over the past year. This is in addition to the 356,000 additional Ohioans who could soon lose Medicaid coverage due to federal changes taking effect.
As Anna says in her Op-Ed, “For our neighbors experiencing homelessness, losing health coverage is not simply a data point. It is often a matter of life and death. Even a brief interruption in care can have devastating consequences for someone already living without stable housing."
