400,000 newly eligible low-income Virginia adults can start enrolling in Medicaid

November 4, 2018 by 3 Comments

RICHMOND, Va. (AP)- About 400,000 newly eligible low-income Virginia adults can start enrolling in Medicaid, a major achievement for the state’s Democratic governor.

Medicaid expansion enrollment starts Thursday in Virginia for coverage that will start at the beginning of 2019.

Expanding Medicaid was among the biggest legislative priorities for Gov. Ralph Northam, who plans a speech Thursday at St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond.

State lawmakers voted to expand Medicaid earlier this year, joining a majority of other states that have already expanded publicly funded health care to low-income adults. Medicaid expansion is central to former President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

The state has a website, www.coverva.org, to help people sign up.

      Hey Mike just in case you need the definition:

      Ideally, news articles are unbiased and objective. They present facts or report other people’s opinions, such as those of witnesses or experts. In general, a news article is supposed to be neutral and an editorial is supposed to be opinionated.

      In case you missed it that was the good doctors opinion.

    How many doctors will NOT take Medicaid? That is the question.

    I guess you are one of those who conflate INSURANCE with CARE.

    They are NOT the same.
