Dear Fellow West Virginians:

My administration is dedicated to developing innovative insurance solutions for the serious problems faced by those with chronic illnesses. Some of these individuals are unable to receive health insurance in the private market, and others have lost their group insurance due to the closing of their employers’ businesses. For those without insurance through employers, finding health insurance is one of the most difficult issues individuals and families grapple with everyday.

Through the creation of AccessWV, I believe that many West Virginians will find a new option for obtaining health insurance - an option that can positively impact the health and financial stability of working individuals, their families and our state.

AccessWV is another great example of what can be accomplished when dedicated people come together with the goal of finding new ways to solve complex problems. It is just one part of our state’s overall commitment to make health insurance available for individuals who are in need.

Sincerely,

Joe Manchin III, Governor
