Sign the petition: Medicaid expansion is a matter of life and death
Republican politicians in 21 states
The Affordable Care Act provides federal funding for states to expand Medicaid, thus providing access to quality healthcare for millions more Americans.
But 21 states - all led by Republican governors or with Republican legislatures - have passed on this new funding, blocking millions of Americans from obtaining quality, affordable healthcare.
Just how bad is this for the health of our country? A recent Harvard study found that 8 million Americans will go uninsured and up to 17,000 may die prematurely.
Republicans are literally playing with people's lives and it is unacceptable.
Sign the petition to Republican politicians: Stop blocking Medicaid expansion.
