Medicaid expansion in South Carolina would dramatically increase access to quality, affordable health care, lower the uninsured rate, and improve health outcomes.

Expanding SC Medicaid could bring in billions to the state. Gov. McMaster doesn't want to study it. A new analysis shows 350,000 SC people would get covered under Medicaid expansion and billions of dollars would flow in. The governor is still not convinced.

This week, two Catawba Citizens celebrated significant milestones in their recovery. One celebrated 6 months of continuous sobriety, stating it was their longest period of sobriety since the age of 15. Another celebrated 115 days being alcohol free. Let's show them some love!
