अर्को महिनामा, नेब्रास्काका बासिन्दाहरूले हाम्रा ९०,००० मेहनती छिमेकीहरूलाई स्वास्थ्य सेवा पहुँच पुर्याउन मद्दत गर्ने अवसर पाउनेछन्। इन्स्योर द गुड लाइफ मतपत्र पहलमा आफ्नो हस्ताक्षर प्रस्तुत गरेर, राज्यले हाम्रा समुदायका ती व्यक्तिहरूको लागि खाडल कम गर्न नजिक पुग्नेछ जो आफ्नो परिवारको पालनपोषण गर्न हरेक दिन कडा परिश्रम गर्छन्, तर जो स्वास्थ्य सेवा कभरेजबाट बञ्चित छन्।
Recently, Utahns surpassed the signature collection threshold to place the expansion of Medicaid on the November ballot. Idaho is following close behind. The residents of these rural states are seeking to extend access to coverage that has been denied by their state governments. If passed by the people in November, health care coverage will be made available to those who earn less than $16,643 annually for a single family household.
Nebraska has the opportunity to do the same.
For rural Nebraska, this expanded coverage is critically important. More than a quarter of the uninsured population who would qualify for this health care coverage reside in the state’s rural counties. These are residents who are unable to access coverage through an employer or who fall in the coverage gap.
As you are invited to sign the petition, remember the difference your signature will make in the life of the man who carries your groceries to your car or the woman who cares for your elderly parent. Your signature will allow all Nebraskans to have a voice in deciding the future of expanded health care coverage for our neighbors.
