We are petitioning for your agency to discipline Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD for obstructing medical care to over 300,000 Alabamians reliant on Medicare for basic health care services in violation of both Ethics set forth by the Alabama Ethics Commission as well as the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners.
Why is this important?
Hi,
Last year, Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD announced that he would not accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program.
By rejecting these funds, over 300,000 Alabamians will be uninsured.
Tell Governor Bentley to reverse course and accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the 300,000 Alabamians that would benefit or face being disciplined for obstructing health care to so many Alabamians.
That's why I signed a petition to Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD, which says:
"Over 16% of Alabama residents don't have health insurance, including many children.
By rejecting Medicaid expansion funds from the federal government, you are obstructing over 300,000 Alabamians who would benefit from this healthcare.
Please reverse course and accept the federal Medicaid dollars and help Alabamians in need of basic healthcare, and stand by your ethics as a Physician politician."
