Thank you to Rich Maxwell for sharing his story.

Do SC Republican voters favor Medicaid expansion? What a GOP pollster found thestate.com/news/politics-…

South Carolinians have spoken: healthcare is a priority. You can find the full poll data here: coversc.org/poll-data/
Polling released this morning from Starboard Communications (R-affiliated) show clear majority support for Medicaid expansion in South Carolina, particularly among independents. Interestingly, 42% of Republicans are afraid new federal rules could result in a loss of insurance.

No one should have to choose between paying rent and seeing a doctor. A large number of working age South Carolinians exceed the very low income limit or are not parents - both of which are required to be eligible for Medicaid.
Medicaid cuts in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” and the end of ACA tax credits could trigger major healthcare losses nationwide, including in SC. Harsh work and reporting rules may hike admin costs and cause many to lose coverage due to red tape and bureaucratic errors.
Michelle makes too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to pay for a private healthcare plan through the Affordable Care Marketplace. Accessing services for basic needs has almost become a full-time job for her. Read more about Michelle’s story: coversc.org/michelles-stor…
Do you know how you can help? Contact contact your state leaders and Congressional members today about how these cuts would impact South Carolinians. Make your voice heard > Link in bio.
If the coverage gap were to be closed, the federal government would pay 90% of the cost of closing the gap versus 70% for the SC Medicaid program today. In addition, South Carolina would get a $904 million bonus. Read our economic report at coversc.org/economic-repor…
Uninsured working-age adults dropped from 16% in 2019 to 13% in 2023 thanks to two temporary programs: continuous Medicaid coverage (ended in 2023) and $0 premium subsidies for low-income people (set to expire in 2024). Without renewal, gains could be lost.
Meet Cliff. After losing his job and health insurance, he had a medical emergency that sent him to the hospital. Without health insurance, Cliff was unable to afford his treatment. Hear Cliff’s story and how you can help close the coverage gap on coversc.org/cliffs-story/
A common misconception is that if someone is employed, they are afforded health insurance. 79% of small employers in South Carolina do not offer health insurance.

57-year-old Belinda Smith was in a car accident that left her with severe injuries to her shoulder and hip. Without health insurance, she couldn’t afford the care she needed, including a $3,500 hip replacement. Read more about Belinda's story: coversc.org/belindas-story/
340,000 South Carolinians would gain affordable health insurance coverage if the gap were closed today. This includes people who are uninsured with no health insurance option, people who have an option from their employer or people on the market exchange but cannot afford it.
A Supreme Court decision allows this expanded coverage to be at State discretion. To date, 40 states have extended coverage under the Affordable Care Act – SC is one of only 10 states that have not, leaving a large health insurance coverage gap for thousands of people.
In 1965, the US created Medicare for seniors and Medicaid for low-income people. States set Medicaid rules, often covering kids and pregnant women, but many working adults were left uninsured. Interested in learning more about closing the gap? Visit CoverSC.org.
