MediaStorm is pleased to announce Documenting Dual Eligibility, produced with photojournalist Isadora Kosofsky in partnership with CatchLight and Arnold Ventures.

In Documenting Dual Eligibility, Kosofsky dives into the lives of two women, Melissa and Ann, as they face the challenges of their medical conditions while being covered by two separate government healthcare programs.

In two intimate films, Kosofsky captures the positivity of the women’s personalities and the complexities of their daily lives while exploring the challenges and protections offered by the dual-eligibility healthcare model.

MediaStorm produced and edited each of the films and then used the MediaStorm Platform to package them with cinematic covers, accompanying slideshows and extended playlists to form a robust visual documentary project.

Melissa, a single mother from California, suddenly lost her vision. Her disability makes Melissa dual eligible, meaning she qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Ann lives in a home for women with developmental disabilities. Bound to a wheelchair and non-verbal, Ann’s disabilities make her dual eligible, meaning she qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid.
