Stand for Expansion. Tell the federal government Nebraska does not Waiver.

Let’s begin the new year strong. In 2020, we are continuing to advocate for Medicaid expansion to be implemented without barriers and delay. And we need you to lead with your energy and passion to ensure justice and opportunity for all Nebraskans, including our family, friends, and neighbors who are still unnecessarily waiting for health care coverage.

Stand for expansion. Do not Waiver.

Take a moment to submit a comment to the federal government opposing the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services’ proposed waiver. Their plan still includes harmful elements like two tiers of benefits, work and wellness requirements, and changes to retroactive eligibility. 

Tell the federal government that Nebraskans do not want a complicated waiver and to implement Medicaid expansion quickly. Nebraskans cannot wait any longer. 

If you submitted a comment during the state comment period, we ask that you please submit another comment to the federal government.

If you have already submitted a federal comment, thank you! Can you commit to sharing the comment link with five friends or family members? Let’s let the federal government know Nebraska does not waiver! Comments will be accepted through Friday, January 17, 2020.

Sincerely, 

Molly McCleery
