To the Virginia Commonwealth Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission

Here is the text of the letter I wrote to the Commonwealth Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission in their debate as to whether to accept Medicaid Expansion or not.  You can write your own comments by sending an email to vamirc@mirc.virginia.gov.  They don't ask for a location, and they don't accept 'form' letters, so use what's below to write your own.

To the Commissioners,

Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment.

I would like to point out three important things that tend to get lost in the partisan debate about whether or not to expand Medicaid.
