I assumed I'd never need Medicaid. I was wrong.
Madison Chapman is a cancer survivor and a federal worker in D.C.
I never expected to go on Medicaid. I grew up in a comfortable household, had worked since high school, and was a generally healthy 24-year-old public policy graduate student.
I also never expected the stubborn lump above my collarbone would be Hodgkin's lymphoma.
