#Medicaid is the way

I wouldn’t be able to live in the community w/o access to healthcare & my waiver program that provides hours of personal care I need for my everyday activities

It’s a life or death issue for millions of us

Katie is one of the 200,000 Alabamians living in the #CoverageGap . What would #MedicaidExpansion mean to her? #SaveMedicaid #DebtCeiling coveralabama.org/see-the-gap-ka…

Katie is a single mom from Morris, Alabama who works 10-12 hour days helping others at work & at home. But there's no support for workers like her when *they* need it, just no health coverage and growing medical debt. She deserves better. #ExpandMedicaid #SaveMedicaid

So many people don’t understand the breadth of #Medicaid and the many faces of the program. Luckily that’s starting to change, but we must do more to expand, modernize and strengthen #Medicaid especially to ensure home and community based care for all #CareCantWait

Medicaid is not 'just' insurance for people. It allows people-our friends, family members, neighbors, and anyone who needs some help day-to-day to live in our communities. It's what people want, it's better for health, and it even saves $. #SaveMedicaid
