The question

What does it mean to make decisions while afraid?

The read

Oliveira says she made decisions while afraid. In Minnesota, coverage limits forced some families to choose among care options for their child. Together, these stories ask what support families have when care decisions become their responsibility.

What happens next

Will Minnesota lawmakers take up Senator Liz Boldon’s proposed coverage clarification in January 2027, and will it change the choices families face at home?

What could change this read

This read would change if the Minnesota Department of Commerce assures families that it will enforce the coverage law, or if the Legislature passes the proposed clarification.
