Resources from the States

These resources come directly from state organizations and advocates who understand the specific issues related to the Medicaid expansion in their states. Since each state's situation is unique, these materials provide the tools needed to make the most effective case for expanding Medicaid in a particular state. Advocates from other states can also use these materials as models to develop useful tools for their own states. We invite the submission of additional materials as we develop this collection of resources.
