MEDICAID EXPANSION

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?

Because expanding health care coverage in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited for individuals who are unemployed, or with limited or no income is important for preventative health care and to assist individuals with chronic health issues. As a mental health provider, this is important to my community where access to healthcare is a chronic issue and can affect mental health as a result.
