Action Alert CAG March 1, 2023
Affordable Medicaid Buy-in and Insulin Bills Need Your Help to Become Law!
HB 3274, the Affordable Medicaid Buy-In bill, would allow thousands of lower income West Virginians to climb economic ladder and keep their vital health coverage. SB 577 would put a copay cap of $35 on insulin and $100 for supplies for those who are covered by traditional insurance. We are also seeking help on the very expensive supplies diabetics have to pay for beside insulin like test strips and continuous glucose monitors. These issue need your action today! More

Don’t Let the Senate Decimate the Budget
The Legislature's tax scheming continues with the Senate's new "compromise" plan, which would be devastating to all West Virginians when it blows holes in the budget, forcing more and more income tax cuts for the wealthy. Instead, we should be investing in health care, public education, infrastructure, and other public services. Tell your legislators: No tax cuts until our needs are met! More

It also announced it has published its final report on its monitoring project. A public meeting on the final report is set for Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Wilson Union Hall on the campus of West Virginia State University.

Tell Governor Justice to Veto Campus Carry; Public Hearing Friday on “License to Discriminate”
Yesterday, the House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed the Campus Self-Defense Act (SB 10), despite opposition from students and educators across the state.

The committee announced a public hearing on the bill for Friday, Feb. 24 at 4PM. Details here on ways to take action. More

Tell Congress: Crack Down on Profiteering in Medicare Advantage!
We believe that everyone should have access to the healthcare they need and people should come before profits. That's why we are fighting for Medicare for All. To get there, we need to stop the expansion of privatized Medicare called Medicare Advantage, which makes healthcare more expensive for everyone while increasing corporate profit. More

URGENT: Health Care Bills Need Your Help to Get Out of Committee!
These health care issues need your action today! SB 269 would raise the Medicaid Dental Benefit from $1,000 to $2,000 a year for adult recipients. Dental and vision health are vital and inseparable from overall health. This bill is a natural next step to expand health equity in the state of West Virginia. SB 610 and HB 3274 could be a huge step in eliminating the "Medicaid Cliff Effect". Those who approach the Income eligibility cap for Medicaid would no longer have to try to figure out if they can afford a raise that would cost them their healthcare. More

Keep WV Funded: Take Action to Stop Dangerous Tax Cuts!
Right now the Governor and the Legislature are sparring over the best way to give tax cuts to the wealthy and big businesses — at our expense. Every West Virginian would pay the price because of the gaps that would be left in the state budget. We need a budget that reflects our priorities: investments in programs that benefit all West Virginians, not tax cuts for the wealthiest. Tell the Governor and your legislators: No tax cuts until our needs are met! More
