In Episode 6 of Dual: The True Cost of Care, we get to chat with Diane, a disabled Black woman with multiple chronic conditions moving through a broken health care system the best way she can. With the support of her daughter, a nurse who understands how Medicaid and Medicare are leveraged to support patients, one would think Diane would be exempt from the poverty traps, delays, and access issues associated with being dual enrolled…right? 

In the episode, Diane describes the mental and emotional toll disability takes on her and her loved ones. Watch now to learn more about Diane’s story.
