A coalition of healthcare advocates insists that Virginia is missing a great opportunity to expand Medicaid to the uninsured while adding very little, if any, additional costs to the state. The members of “Healthcare for All Virginians” say they have a well-rounded plan that would extend benefits to 400,000 additional residents.  And as Virginia Public Radio’s Tommie McNeil reports, they say it could also bring in billions of federal dollars and support 30,000 jobs.
