Among other priorities, VOICES is prioritizing support for closing the healthcare coverage gap, including supporting Medicaid expansion.

Nearly one in six Alabama women aged 18-44 lack health coverage, face other barriers to health care.

Expanding healthcare access relies on a funding source. Alabama's only current option - gambling revenue - could soon be off the table.
Health
Inaction has left more than 220,000 Alabamians in a health coverage gap.
