Comments from a survey of parents whose children are enrolled in the Massachusetts Medicaid Buy-in Program

Quote 1: Grateful to have it, but it’s a cumbersome, intimidating process.

Quote 2: Being enrolled has taken a lot of financial pressure off of paying for her [daughter’s] significant medical needs; however I am still not able to work as much as I was before and I am constantly afraid that if we lose this benefit what would happen to us. It truly is a life-saver!
