Meza et al. v. Marstiller: Class Action Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief

Although the Florida Medicaid program covers the cost of incontinence supplies for medically incontinent children, the state stops paying for this essential medical service when the child turns 21. Along with co-counsel Disability Rights Florida (serving as both co-counsel and an organizational plaintiff) and Lewis Golinker, FHJP filed a class action complaint asking that the federal court order the state to provide much needed medical supplies for plaintiffs like Blanca M., a 22 year old Floridian who suffers from multiple disabilities, including spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, and who relies on a gastronomy tube for nutrition.
