Jason, By expanding Medicaid in Florida, we could give 1.4 million Floridians access to quality and affordable healthcare and help close the coverage gap. 1.4 million might seem vast, but each number represents a Floridian struggling to access essential health services to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy. - 61% of those stuck in the coverage gap are people of color, highlighting how racial health disparities are being exacerbated by the lack of Medicaid expansion.
- 65% come from families with at least one worker, proving that even hardworking families are still getting left behind.
- 32% are parents with children, meaning many of our state's youngest and most vulnerable residents are at higher risk of missing out on critical healthcare.
Expanding Medicaid isn't just about a number — it's about real people and real lives that are at stake. It's about ensuring more children have access to vaccination and regular check-ups. It's about supporting families who work tirelessly to provide for their families and still struggle to afford medical care. It's about reducing racial health disparities that have persisted for too long. With your support, we can secure the signatures needed to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot, closing the coverage gap and improving healthcare outcomes for ALL Floridians. Whether it's $3, $5, or $10, every dollar you're able to contribute is crucial! |
Together, we can build a Florida where healthcare is a right for every Floridian, not a privilege. Florida Decides Healthcare |
