FLORENCE, S.C. — Brenda B. Culick has two stents in her heart and a severe wound in her right leg, injured while she was doing home repairs six months ago. But she cannot afford to see a cardiologist or go to a wound care center.
Her household income is $1,200 a month, but she does not qualify for Medicaid because she has no dependent children and is not disabled. Ms. Culick, 52, is one of several hundred thousand people left behind by South Carolina’s refusal to expand Medicaid under President Obama’s health care law — a choice made by about half the states.
