Join Healthcare For All WV at 9th St. Live TONIGHT!

Celebrate the 58th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, 
unite for better healthcare, and share your healthcare story with us!

 

[Huntington, WV]–  West Virginians have some of the worst healthcare outcomes in the nation. Our Seniors, as well as millions of Americans, need the Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare negotiations and other improvements to lower drug costs NOW. 

With over 60,000 West Virginians recently removed from Medicaid, families are in need of help navigating Medicaid renewals and filling out additional paperwork requirements. 9th Street Live will provide a fun, family atmosphere that will allow folks to socialize and share their experiences.

WHO: Healthcare for All WV (HC4AWV)
           West Virginia Citizen Action Group (WVCAG)

WHY:  Stories have the power to make a difference. Healthcare for All WV has been working for over 4 years to improve health care access, affordability and equity for all in WV. How do we do this? By listening to West Virginians and amplifying their voices to educate the public and our lawmakers on the reality of the daily healthcare struggles in our state. 

IN ATTENDANCE: Delegate Sean Hornbuckle, and former Delegate Chad Lovejoy

Stories have the power to make a difference. Do medical bills or high copays have you struggling? Share your story and help fix our healthcare system. Every year, millions are denied care by their insurers, lose Medicaid, pay too much for Medicare, or are stuck with bills they can’t pay. People stay sick, and too many die. You can make a difference. Share your story at https://www.healthcareforallwv.org.
