Medicaid expansion in Virginia

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?

This expansion is to provide health coverage for disadvantage Virginians. It will relieve hospitals of emergency room costs due to treating the uninsured. Those costs will no longer be passed long to others.
