Ellen Allen : Hi, I'm Ellen Allen. I'm the Executive Director of West Virginians for Affordable Health Care. It's February, and you know what that means: The legislative session is in full swing and that means a busy time for us. Now this year, our legislative agenda is focused entirely on preserving and protecting Medicaid. You know, Medicaid is the largest health insurance program in West Virginia it funds hospitals, primary care clinics, and tens of thousands of West Virginians. It has a $114 million deficit this year. And we're asking our legislators to provide a one time allocation to supplement our best insurance program in the state. We're asking you to join us and ask your legislators to support and preserve Medicaid.
