Special Community Events:
Under the Affordable Care Act, states have been given the option to expand their Medicaid programs. Not only will this expansion bring more jobs to our state; but thousands of fellow citizens earning under 138% of the Federal Poverty Level will have access to health care.
Assisted by AIDS United, and supported by our partners in "Accept ME SC", the Task Force will be sponsoring press conferences, partner training classes, and community panel forums around the state to educate the people in SC about how expanding the Medicaid program will help our state and our neighbors.

Recent Advocacy Events:
In Feb. 2013, the Task Force held an Advocacy Day, going to the State House to talk one-on-one with our Legislators. We thanked them once again for the ADAP funding put into the budget last year, and spoke to them about the necessity of Medicaid Expansion for SC. This newest Advocacy Day was a follow-up to our previous event held last December.
At our last event, we met at the Statehouse in the morning for a special Press Conference, with our new coalition ("Accept ME SC") partners, addressing the issues of the Affordable Health Care Act and Medicaid Expansion. Later that evening we hosted a Community Forum / Panel Discussion. You can watch the videos from each of those events on our YouTube Channel.
