Strengthening Healthcare and Fixing the Medicaid Cap
Healthcare in the Virgin Islands must be equitable, stable, and built for our realities. When the federal Medicaid cap runs out, the bills don’t disappear — our hospitals are forced to absorb the loss. Janelle will pursue aggressive federal advocacy to secure fair funding, strengthen our hospitals, and make sure no resident has to travel off-island for the care they deserve.
- Fight the federal Medicaid funding cap
- Strengthen and stabilize our local hospitals
- Expand telehealth and access to care
- End the need to travel abroad for treatment
- Protect coverage for families and seniors
- Build a system designed for our community
Do you have any Questions?
Unlike the states, U.S. territories face a federal cap on Medicaid funding. When it runs out, local hospitals are left absorbing costs they can’t sustain.
Through aggressive federal advocacy for fair healthcare funding, support for our hospitals, and expanded local access so care stays close to home.
Stable healthcare funding protects your hospital, your providers, and your family’s ability to get care without leaving the territory.
