Mississippi needs affordable health care even more than most states. We ask that you, as our voices in the U.S. Congress, please help your constituents achieve it. We need Medicaid expanded, not as a handout but as a helping hand to our working poor who are in the gap of earning too much to qualify for Medicaid and too little to qualify for premium assistance through the ACA. We need your support and not your blind opposition.
Why is this important?
Many people in Mississippi are stuck in the Medicaid/Affordable Health Care gap, my daughter and her family included. She earns more than the poverty level so can't qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to qualify for the premium support provided by Affordable Health Care. Our governor opted out of the expanded Medicaid program which has left so many out in the cold.
