Take Action: Help Nebraska Medicaid Bill Get a Vote!

A crucial piece of legislation is being obstructed in the Legislature. We need your help!
(Originally posted at Nebraska Appleseed)

LB 577, the bill that would extend Medicaid coverage, would help 54,000 uninsured, working Nebraskans get access to health care. It would provide security to our rural hospitals, our working families, and our veterans. It is beneficial to our economy, returning $2.3 billion to our state. And it would save an estimated 500 lives every year.

However, a small group of opponents of the bill will not allow LB 577 to come to a vote in the Legislature. Senators need to hear from you! This issue is too important not to receive a vote this year!

Wednesday is a day of action on LB 577. Please contact your senator today!

Stand with 54,000 uninsured Nebraskans. They deserve a vote.

Stand with our rural hospitals. They deserve a vote.

Stand with working families. They deserve a vote.

Stand with the 500 lives the Medicaid expansion will save each year. They deserve a vote.

Stand with the people in your life and the hospitals and businesses in your community that could be helped by LB 577.

Contact your senator and tell them LB 577 needs to come to a vote. The message can be quick and simple. Just tell them who you are, where you live, and that LB 577 deserves a vote.
