Health

Access to affordable and quality health care is the foundation of building strong and thriving communities. This means that everyone deserves access to health care no matter where they live, work, or play. We support legislation that will:

  1. Stop the imposition of Medicaid work requirements and cost-sharing provisions.
  2. Ensure that health insurance plans sold in Virginia cannot discriminate based on health status and must cover the ten essential health benefits outlined in the Affordable Care Act.
  3. Cover doula and midwifery services for Medicaid beneficiaries to help reduce the number of Black maternal and infant deaths.
  4. Provide targeted support to increase the number of women of color who obtain medical, nursing, doula, or midwifery, education or credentials.
  5. Eliminate Virginia’s 40 quarters rule.
  6. Increase access to health coverage and services for undocumented immigrants.
  7. Codify in state law the reproductive health rights guaranteed through Roe v. Wade.
  8. Establish a single-payer health insurance program that provides access to health coverage for all Virginians, regardless of immigration status.
  9. Increase support for HIV treatment and prevention services, including educating healthcare providers and patients about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

El acceso a una atención médica de bajo costo y de calidad es la base para construir comunidades fuertes y prósperas. Todos merecen acceso a la atención médica sin importar dónde viven, trabajan o juegan. Apoyamos una legislación que:

  1. Detendrá la imposición de los requisitos laborales de Medicaid y las disposiciones sobre costos compartidos.
  2. Asegurará de que los planes de seguro de salud vendidos en Virginia no puedan discriminar en función del estado de salud y deben cubrir los diez beneficios de salud esenciales descritos en la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio.
  3. Cubrirá los servicios de doula y partera para beneficiarios de Medicaid para ayudar a reducir el número de muertes maternas y de infantes en comunidades Afro-Americanas.
  4. Brindará apoyo específico para aumentar el número de mujeres de color que obtienen educación o credenciales médicas, de enfermería, doula o partera.
  5. Eliminará la regla de los 40 cuartos de Virginia.
  6. Aumentará el acceso a servicios y cobertura de salud para inmigrantes indocumentados.
  7. Codificará en la ley estatal los derechos de salud reproductiva garantizados a través de Roe v. Wade.
  8. Establecerá un programa de seguro de salud de pagador único que brinde acceso a cobertura de salud para todos los virginianos, independientemente del estado de inmigración.
  9. Aumentará el apoyo a los servicios de tratamiento y prevención del VIH, incluyendo la educación de los proveedores de atención médica y los pacientes sobre la profilaxis previa a la exposición (PrEP).
