Dual: The True Cost of Care

West Virginia: When Care Isn't Enough


Listen Later

In Episode 13 of our new original series, Dual: The True Cost of Care, we travel to West Virginia to meet Cori who became paralyzed after a sledding accident.

Cori’s recovery wasn’t just about adjusting to a new life. It meant navigating massive systems like Medicare and Medicaid. From denials and short staffing to limited supplies like catheters and delayed treatments, Cori’s story reflects the reality of how these systems are supposed to provide care, and how they fail people at the same time.

As we uncover the true cost of care in West Virginia, Cori’s story asks us to sit with an important question. What happens to someone’s life when they become disabled and the care they’re promised never shows up?

Join us as we uncover the true cost of care in West Virginia.
