Health Care for
120,000
West Virginians!
STATEWIDE
FORUM & Training
Sunday * April 7 * Charleston
Christ Church United Methodist, 1221 Quarrier

RSVP: Renate Pore (renatepore@gmail.com)
Did you know that our state has the opportunity to draw federal funds to provide health care for 120,000 working families? If Gov. Tomblin says "yes" to Medicaid Expansion, the Federal Government will provide more than 90 percent of the costs to pay for health insurance for families who are working but making less than 138 percent of the federal poverty line. The rest of the costs will come from the enormous savings from families no longer relying on costly emergency room care. Governors across the country, including 8 Republican and all Democratic Governors have said yes to Medicaid expansion because it is good for their state's budget, economy, and health. The program would create 6200 new jobs in West Virginia alone!
At the forum, everyone will also receive basic training on how to advocate for these changes in your own community. We encourage you to come to the forum, so you can take back information and strategies to continue this work afterward!
