Deadline on Health Insurance Access and Medicaid Expansion Digital Vigil in the Southeast
Deadline for comments is September 16th.
Make no mistake that this is an effort to dismantle the healthcare.gov portal that will weaken protections for Georgia health care consumers and possibly for others around the country. The governor of our state has recently come under fire for this plan.
We do not believe that brokers who have an incentive to sell more plans that will benefit the insurance industry (their paycheck) as opposed to the consumer advocates will lead to a good place. Leave your opinion today at www.coverga.org
Please join us for the first ever Southerners for Medicaid Expansion Digital Vigil on October 1 at 7pm EST/6pm Central Time live on Zoom and the NC Justice Center
Our Keynote Speaker is Rev. Dr. William Barber. The Southerners for Medicaid expansion is made up of the 8 states – that have not yet expanded Medicaid – Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and Florida, who are uniting in Southern Solidarity to demand health coverage for their people during COVID19 and beyond.
