She hopes to work for the State for 1-2 years prior to entering grad school to study Public Policy. Knowing the challenges that uninsured or underinsured New Yorker\u2019s are facing, she feels privileged that she has a family that is more or less able to get by. As a full time college student she is insured via Medicaid and has struggled with the gap in adequate dental coverage. She\u2019s a self-professed dental-phobe due to some bad experiences in the past, because finding a quality dentist with her insurance is a challenge. Unfortunately, the costs for dental work out of pocket can be astronomical. It worries her, if she gets a cavity, an infection, or needs something like a root canal &#8211; that she wouldn\u2019t be able to get appropriate care to fix the issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azania \u201cSammie\u201d Maitland is a rising Junior who majors in Political Science and minors in Legal Studies at Hunter College.
