Ask LeMunyon to Support Virginia Medicaid Expansion
Expand Medicaid for 191,000 poor and disabled Virginians. Expanding Medicaid will help create 30,000 new jobs and save Virginia taxpayers billions of dollars per year.
Why is this important?
The Virginia legislature is meeting in a special session to consider the Virginia budget and the expansion of Medicaid eligibility. The cost of the Medicaid expansion will be paid 100% by federal dollars during the first three years, and 90% after that. Our state delegate, Jim LeMunyon, opposes the expansion of Medicaid -- meaning that federal taxes paid by Virginians are going to other states and not ours. Medicaid expansion will enable hard-working poor and lower-middle class Virginians to have access to health care. Please sign this petition to let Mr. LeMunyon know that it just makes common sense to expand Medicaid in Virginia.
