The survey also found 48 percent of voters in Virginia are worried the federal government will not cover most of the $2 billion it will cost for Medicaid expansion, while 45 percent were not worried.

Last week, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) proposed a limited Medicaid expansion plan to provide health insurance for approximately 25,000 uninsured people in the state. The expansion plan is just one part of a program that would also help improve care for people already enrolled in Virginia’s Medicaid program and help boost insurance enrollment in the state.
