Every citizen in Louisiana deserves access to quality, affordable health care.

Due to Bobby Jindal's devastating cuts to health care, we have seen the doors of many of our hospitals close for good. To make matters worse, Bobby Jindal has refused to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. As a result, roughly 200,000 Louisianians are currently uninsured.

We must make expanding Medicaid a top priority while working to ensure that our health care system receives adequate funding necessary to providing care to those communities that need it most.
