Putting Faces to the Failure of GOP Policies

Today I want to tell you about a fearless warrior who is trying to cope with his own disabilities while sharing the stories of others who are coping with serious health issues. Fred Christian has set his goal to call attention to what happens to real people when GOP policies get in the way. When Republican governors refuse to expand Medicaid, real people get caught in the gap.  They can't afford to purchase healthcare and must resort to desperate measures to try to survive. You can read Fred's personal story here:  https://fredchristian123.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/my-healthcare-journey-pre-and-post-petition/

The United States Supreme Court ruling allowed states to opt out of expanding Medicaid. So far, 29 states and the District of Columbia have chosen to expand Medicaid to help their citizens afford healthcare. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/resources/primers/medicaidmap
