NAACP Statement in Support of Medicaid Expansion

Baby with Doctor's Stethoscope on Chest at Medical Appointment

The NAACP supports Senator Warnock's amendment to expand the ACA and close the healthcare coverage gap.

The ACA was designed to ensure that people at all levels of income have affordable healthcare coverage. But as of today – 10 years since the ACA was passed into law – there are still millions who don't have coverage or access to an affordable plan.

It shouldn't matter who you are, what you look like, or where you live. Healthcare access is a right for all. We support Senator Warnock and his efforts to help finish what the passing of the ACA started. It would be shameful for Congress not to take this opportunity to make sure that every American has access to an affordable plan.
