The Support the Dream Defenders Daily Kos Group has recently initiated an important project to assist those around the country who need a helping hand from their government. One need not be a rocket scientist to know that once individuals and families have health insurance coverage, a major burden has been lifted over their heads. Healthy citizens can be more productive members of society while contributing to a growing economy.
In this regard, we could use some help from all of you.
As you know, the Affordable Care Act - or, Obamacare as it has widely come to be known - gave all states in the union the option to expand their Medicaid programs, with substantial assistance from the federal government. Most states currently under Republican control have deliberately, callously, and maliciously refused to do so. It is disgraceful. It is immoral. And defies all standards of basic human decency.
With your help, we intend to do something about it, but need your active involvement and support.
