Support Medicaid Expansion in Virginia
Don't give our tax dollars to other states. 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. Many people right here in our district need this help.
Why is this important?
There is a line in an old folk song that says "if living was a thing that money could buy, you know the rich would live and the poor would die." Of course that is exactly what happens. I have insurance, can well afford my medical care, and just had a triple heart bypass that saved my life. However I know several people right here in this area who have no ability to buy the medical insurance they need. This is a life and death issue.
