CHARLESTON, WV – Americans for Prosperity-West Virginia (AFP-WV) today sent Governor Justice a letter on state-based reforms the governor can take to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and increase access to critical health care services for those who need it.
Jason Huffman, AFP-West Virginia’s State Director, issued the following statement:

“Americans for Prosperity urges Governor Justice to use his emergency power to cut through the red tape and enact short-term policy solutions that will help address this crisis. As always, we stand ready as a resource to help connect policymakers with issue experts in order to remove barriers for our fellow Mountaineers.”
The letter identifies the following areas that will help increase health care access:
