Glenn Youngkin on Health Care

 

 


$230M to build strong, stable behavioral health safety net

Last month, I stood at Henrico Doctors Hospital to announce a three-year plan to fundamentally transform our behavioral health system.

The "Right Help, Right Now" plan is comprehensive and I ask this General Assembly to fully fund the $230 million first step of this plan. This funding rapidly accelerates the transformation toward a strong and stable behavioral health safety net. It will substantially expand system capacity--same day care, relieving the burden on law enforcement, greater pre-crisis service capacity in schools, a focus on substance use disorder, a stronger behavioral health workforce, and service innovations.

A "sad thing" that Medicaid was expanded under Obamacare

At times, though, he's unequivocal. Youngkin said earlier this year it was "a sad thing" that Medicaid was expanded in Virginia under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.
