Put Medicaid Expansion back in the Virginia State Budget!

The Issue

Virginia is losing $1.8 billion dollars per year of money that the residents of Virginia have already paid to the Federal Government.  This money will go to other states but not Virginia because the Virginia House of Delegates will not include  Medicaid Expansion dollars in their budget.  

Passing a budget with Medicaid expansion will not only add healthcare coverage for over 250,000 working folks in low-paying jobs,  but it will add over 30,000 good-paying health care jobs to the Virginia economy.  

We ask that you put this money back in the budget by passing Medicaid expansion.
