This coming Monday, July 30 will be a National Day of Action for Medicaid’s 53rd Birthday! Many groups are focusing activities around the time frame 12-1 pm CT.
No matter our differences, most of us want to live healthy lives. Medicaid allows seniors, parents, children and working people to visit doctors when they are sick.
If you are active on social media, here are a couple of ideas:
