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?
There's a critical special legislative session happening this week in Richmond that will determine whether nearly 200,000 Virginians gain access to health care—and MoveOn members can make or break the outcome.
The question is whether Virginia will accept federal Medicaid funds, as Obamacare encourages. Other Republican-led states have done it. Virginia voters strongly support it. And the state Senate just passed it. But right now, some Republicans in the House of Delegates are standing in the way.
