URGE THE GA: PROTECT HEALTH COVERAGE FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VIRGINIANS

Federal budget negotiations threaten to terminate all Medicaid Expansion coverage in Virginia due to budgetary “trigger” language.

Tell Virginia’s Senate leadership and appropriations members to support Senator Deeds’ and Senator Hashmi’s budget amendments, items 288 #21s & 22s. These remove the automatic termination of Medicaid Expansion language with any change in the federal match, even a 1% reduction.

Tell Virginia’s House leadership and appropriations members the importance of setting up similar protections in the House budget.

Virginia’s elected officials must be empowered to protect the healthcare of over 630,000 Virginians from arbitrary actions that harm their health and families.

TAKE ACTION

Fill the form below to contact the legislators voting on these items. Personalized messages are especially effective, so please consider explaining why this issue is important to you!

**UPDATE!** Senators Deeds’ and Hashmi’s budget amendments were included in the Senate budget, but we still need your voice! Take action to urge leadership and appropriations members to include these protections in the final budget.
