Issues: Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

Alabama's Medicaid Program is among some of the worst in the country. We did not take advantage of the Medicaid Expansion because of financial reasons, but we have wasted millions on RCOs that never were implemented. More than 85% of the children in District 82 are Medicaid recipients. Senior citizens are using Medicaid for nursing homes, medications, dialysis and home services.

I will:

Continuously fight for adequate Medicaid funding.

Fight for more comprehensive Medical facilities for our 3,100 University students.

Work with municipalities, county government, and Tuskegee University to resolve this issue with State and Federal Legislators.
