Jason, Florida ranked third in the nation for the highest number of uninsured people – and we can't afford to ignore this crisis any longer! - Thousands of Floridians are stuck in the "coverage gap" where they make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford private insurance.
- Florida parents must earn less than 40% of the poverty line to qualify for Medicaid.
- Childless adults don't even qualify for Medicaid at all, leaving thousands of Floridians with little to no other options.
States that expanded Medicaid saw the largest increase in insurance rates among essential workers – including healthcare workers, bus drivers, grocery store workers, food manufacturers, and so many more workers we rely on every single day! Despite the need for action, gridlock and division in the state government is standing in the way of Medicaid expansion. That's why we're working to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot and expand access to 1.4 million Floridians. Join our grassroots team today by making a contribution! |
Thank you, Florida Decides Healthcare |
