bipartisan support. Giving access to quality, affordable health care—to otherwise uninsured Virginians— makes economic sense. This will make a difference across the state, from the rural Appalachian region to the seaport cities on the Atlantic Ocean.

Additionally, the expansion simply makes good economic sense, as research has shown that Virginians with insurance have been paying more for coverage because of the lack of expansion. By expanding Medicaid, the budget will also bring over 3 billion federal dollars back to the Commonwealth. This expansion is years overdue, and I am thrilled that Virginia Republicans finally stopped playing politics with people’s health care.
