Call Gov. Abbott to Expand Medicaid Call Gov. Abbott today at 1-877-880-6704 and urge him to expand Medicaid to save our lives and protect our hospitals. Here's a sample message for the governor: “Please expand Medicaid for the Texans who are uninsured and need healthcare, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. When any one of us can’t get the care we need, all of us are at risk for infection, complications, and even death. Our health depends on the health of the person next to us, and the person next to them. Please expand Medicaid.” Posted in #MedEx4TX, Greg Abbott, Medicaid Expansion, Past Actions, Phone Calls, Texas.
