Expand Medicaid in VA
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?
I work with clients who have no health insurance and cannot afford to get their medical problems dealt with. These people create problems for health care in VA by going to emergency rooms to deal with health problems. This increases the cost of health care for everyone because hospitals pass on the cost to those who have health insurance.
