Florida's Republican-led legislature chose this path when they refused to expand Medicaid access under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). They chose the very short-term political benefit of disagreeing with President Obama's healthcare policies over the health of all Floridians. Many Florida residents have suffered under our state's refusal to expand Medicaid to a larger number of low-income adults (individuals making less than $ 17,236 per year). Fortunately, the Florida legislature can close this unfair and unnecessary coverage gap at any time, if we raise our voices. Demand that the Florida legislature convenes a special session to expand Medicaid now! This change will save lives and save taxpayer dollars. It is the right thing to do for all Floridians.   https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/call-a-special-session-to-expand-medicaid
