Ask Governor McCrory to expand Medicaid under the ACA to help uninsured citizens who suffer treme...
Governor McCrory, please expand MEDICAID coverage for your citizens. The Affordable Care Act already provides the funds. It's immoral to deny us coverage. Every 20 minutes, 1 of us dies from lack of access to healthcare. You are elected to serve us. Please honor human decency & work for your most vulnerable citizens.
Why is this important?
Many North Carolina citizens need the health coverage expanded MEDICAID of the ACA will give us. I worked at Stough Elementary School with Governor McCrory's sister for 10 years, because of health issues of self & sons, & Broughton HS forcing my son to Drop Out when he was hospitalized, I had to quit work, I'm a widow & the only parent. My son's 4 year struggle is documented-Legal Aid & Duke Law filed the longest petition in NC history on behalf of my son. We suffer greatly without health insurance, we suffer innocently. Many more suffer with us. We need & deserve health insurance. There's no fair reason not to expand MEDICAID coverage for citizens. The money is already available. Please ask Governor McCrory to do right by us & our children.
