Accept the Medicaid expansion in Alabama
Accept the expansion of Medicaid in Alabama so hospitals are not forced to recover costs by overcharging those who have health care insurance
Why is this important?
My son recently had to have an emergency appendectomy. He was in the hospital one night, and we received a bill for over $60,000! Fortunately I have health care, and the cost was negotiated down. But I have to ask myself, why am I being charged for all the people not paying or unable to afford health care for themselves?
