Why is this important?
I am a graduate student, 24 years old,and when I graduate, I will no longer be having Medical Insurance. I am one of the people who are struggling with a lack of health care. Working poor, people with disabilities, adults under 65, childless adults and others are not receiving health care all over the state and it is our responsibility and priority to ensure that they will be able to receive affordable health care with Medicaid Expansion.
