Reauthorizing medicaid expansion is the single most important thing we could do to continue to support all of these treatment and recovery services, and if we don't do it, we pull the ground out from under these people who have worked really hard to set up these services.
Ever thought about how Medicaid expansion can be a game-changer for those in recovery? In this episode of 'Hope Dealer', Ed McDonough sits down with Aly McKnight, the Training Director at New Futures and Friends of New Hampshire Drug Court. Aly sheds light on the crucial role Medicaid expansion plays in supporting health and wellness, especially for individuals battling substance use disorders and mental health issues.
They dive into how New Futures, a non-partisan non-profit, works tirelessly to advocate for these essential services through collaboration with policymakers and the community. Aly emphasizes that reauthorizing Medicaid expansion is vital, not just for those in recovery but for anyone struggling to make ends meet and needing health insurance. Without it, many would lose access to critical treatment and recovery services. Aly and Ed also discuss the importance of continuous advocacy and community support to maintain these health services.
Aly urges listeners to reach out to their legislators, stressing that Medicaid expansion is a bipartisan effort crucial for ongoing recovery support. Tune in to learn how you can contribute to this vital cause and support the health and wellness of your community.
