There is sure to be a lot of fall out, hand ringing and finger pointing after the TrumpRyanCare Health bill failed to even make it to the floor for a vote, much less over to the Senate for consideration.
While, no doubt, the GOP is licking their wounds and likely thinking about if, how and when they reintroduce...Democrats at the Federal and State level should be working NOW to enact the Medicaid expansion in the States that heretofor have voted against it.
I jumped in to the race for House District 28 in the Virginia General Assembly for a few specific reasons, which I will be explaining over the next several days and weeks.
I want to protect women’s reproductive rights and choices and I STRONGLY support the Medicaid expansion afforded under the Affordable Care Act. I continue to be disheartened to see the same old excuses from the Virginia GOP leadership in response to Governor McCauliffe’s call to vote, again, on expansion.
The time to act is NOW. Nearly 500,000 Virginians have been denied access to Medicaid, for nothing but purely political reasons. This grandstanding hurts our fellow citizens and I believe, our future.
Please join me as I continue to campaign for this seat and for Virginians! If elected, I will fight for Medicaid expansion in our great state.
