Serious accidents or illnesses can happen to anyone, but all West Virginians should have access to high quality, affordable health care. The Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act grants tens of thousands of West Virginians the freedom to pursue the American Dream without the fear of going bankrupt or skipping medical treatments. Our workforce is getting healthier, and jobs have been created for doctors and nurses--a bright spot in diversifying West Virginia's economy. I oppose efforts in Washington to cut Medicaid. Should such a bill pass, I'll work in the Legislature to ensure that as many West Virginians as possible are covered, without consideration for preexisting conditions or lifetime caps.
