Hi Jason, it's Florida Decides Healthcare, the team fighting to expand Medicaid coverage in Florida.
If you want to understand what our fight is all about, here are three numbers you need to know:
47
Among the states, Florida ranks 47th in healthcare access and affordability – and 3rd in number of people without insurance.
Expanding Medicaid coverage would make it easier for Floridians to see healthcare providers and receive the medical treatments they need without having to worry about finances.
2,357,500
Almost 2.5 million Floridians don't have health insurance. Many have to make the difficult choice to go without care because they can't afford the services they need. That should never happen.
Right now, Florida has one of the strictest eligibility requirements for Medicaid recipients. But we're trying to change that so more Floridians can be covered, and more Floridians can afford healthcare.
76
Seventy-six percent of Floridians support Medicaid expansion. They want to see their tax dollars come directly back to Florida to improve healthcare access.
But popularity alone won't be enough. Florida has one of the hardest processes for citizen-led initiatives to get on a ballot and approved.
Our team is working around the clock to collect signatures, spread the word about our grassroots campaign, and finally expand Medicaid so Floridians can get the care they deserve – but our success depends on generous supporters like you, Jason.
We've set a goal to raise $10,000 in the next 48 hours to fund our operations. Will you please pitch in whatever you can right now to help our campaign get on the ballot and win?
Thank you for helping us bring Medicaid expansion to Florida!
