Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Hawaii’s Congressional delegation has fought for decades to restore Medicaid access for COFA citizens. I first introduced legislation to do so when I served in the House. And then again in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. We got so close to passing it so many times. — PolitiTweet.org

But in 1996, a legislative error kicked those citizens off Medicaid. That error led to high uninsurance rates and untreated diseases like diabetes and hypertension leaving COFA citizens vulnerable to more serious complications from #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Our work has only become more urgent as COFA communities experience overwhelming rates of infection and death from the pandemic. Last night, when a long-overdue deal was reached on COVID relief, Congress finally included the restoration of Medicaid access to COFA citizens. — PolitiTweet.org
