My heart hurts for the 42 million Americans whose daily lives and well-being depend on The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to put food on the table. Over the past few months, they have been hit by an unprecedented tidal wave of benefit reductions and inflation challenges that are only worsening food insecurity and raising the hunger cliff in America.
As a single mom who survived on food stamps and lived in a food desert, I have personally experienced just how detrimental these regulations can be to one’s health. As the CEO and founder of a company that partners with health insurers like Medicare and Medicaid to deliver fresh foods to these at-risk Americans, I’ve seen how limiting access to supplement food plans will increase healthcare costs for everyone.
