From the transcript

This is just one example, right? NICU parents are stressed out, wondering how they're going to afford this, praying for their baby, wondering if their baby is going to be okay, file for Medicaid, which they qualify for, and yet over 5 months transpire, no phone call, no nothing back, no coverage. And this is just one out of many. In the past 3 years, we've had over 23,000 kids fall off Medicaid. And that doesn't reflect— because we've come out of poverty, right?
