Governor Haley: Expand Medicaid to needy citizens
Urge Governor Haley to accept federal funds to support the expansion of Medicaid to needy citizens in South Carolina. This is a win-win for our citizens and for our economy.
Why is this important?
Through the Affordable Care Act, federal dollars have been set aside to expand healthcare for South Carolinians. Accepting these funds would improve the lives of many South Carolinians. In 2012 South Carolina ranked 46th in overall health. As a teacher, I have seen students devastated by lack of access to healthcare. By accepting federal healthcare dollars we can make a significant impact on the health of the citizens of our state.
