Support 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?

As a former kindergarten teacher who literally heard the cries of a child without health insurance, I urge you to support this expansion. It will help the working poor such as the parents of the child I taught whose parents had to choose between rent, food, and health care.
