Scenario

In 2013, Maria was a 46-year-old Latina who worked three part-time jobs to make ends meet. Because she worked part-time, Maria did not receive insurance coverage through her employer. Because she earned over 150% of the poverty level, she did not receive public health coverage. That year, she developed a sore on her finger that began oozing pus. She tried soaking it at home, but it did not improve. Maria continued to work all of her jobs until one day coworkers noticed her to be pale, confused, and short of breath. They called 9-1-1, and Maria was taken by ambulance to the local emergency room. She was diagnosed with septic shock caused by gangrene resulting from previously undiagnosed diabetes. She required amputation of her finger and a lengthy stay in the intensive care unit.
