Sen. Warner Issues Statement on Virginia Medicaid Expansion

WASHINGTON, May 30 -- The office of Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement after the Virginia Senate voted to expand the Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act:

"I'm thrilled that the Virginia Senate has decided partisan politics should no longer stand in the way of thousands of Virginia families getting the healthcare they need. I look forward to the House of Delegates soon doing the same.

"Governor Northam and supporters of Medicaid expansion should be proud of this bipartisan achievement, but the real winners here are the hardworking Virginians who will finally have healthcare for their families."
