More than 300,000 Alabamians are caught in the health coverage gap, leaving them just one medical emergency away from personal impairment and financial ruin. But there’s a policy solution to ease that burden. And that’s why Alabama Arise is committed to building broad support for Medicaid expansion in Alabama. Did you know 62% of Alabamians favor expanding Medicaid? Arise and other members of the Cover Alabama Coalition see growing momentum for this essential, life-saving move. And we believe one of the best ways to win lawmakers’ approval is to show that Medicaid expansion enjoys the support of a broad group of Alabamians. Please speak out for Medicaid expansion by signing the letter of support below that best represents you. We will send the letters to Gov. Kay Ivey and members of the Legislature during the 2021 regular session. State lawmakers soon will discuss if Alabama will expand Medicaid to cover more working Alabamians, including those who lost their jobs because of COVID-19. Your voice can help make the difference in that debate. As the pandemic rages on, it’s time for our state’s leaders to put aside partisanship and divisiveness. It’s time to move forward in a collaborative way to provide needed health care to struggling Alabamians. It’s time to expand Medicaid. We hope you’ll join us. Sincerely, Jane Adams Campaign Director, Alabama Arise |
