Request your petition →MedicaidFlorida.org Latino Floridians are facing unprecedented health coverage losses as federal cuts continue to reshape Medicaid and the ACA. When coverage disappears, people delay care — conditions worsen and costs rise for everyone. Medicaid expansion would help.

Request your petition →MedicaidFlorida.org If ACA premium credits expire, Florida faces the largest projected uninsured increase in the nation. Hospitals absorb billions in uncompensated care — and pass costs to everyone else. Medicaid expansion is one solution Tallahassee keeps refusing to take.

🚨 BREAKING🚨New poll shows 67% of Florida voters support Medicaid expansion — well above the 60% needed to pass. Support grows as voters learn how expansion would keep tax dollars in-state and provide healthcare coverage to millions. Voters agree — it’s time to act. Learn more:

This week a federal judge issued a second injunction against HB 1205, the Florida law passed to limit citizen-led ballot campaigns like ours. The judge ruled that the law’s restrictions on petition gatherers go way too far. This is a big win for Florida voters, fair ballot access, and our cause.

Last Friday, Governor DeSantis signed HB 1205 into law — an attempt to strip Floridians of one of our most powerful tools: the citizen-led ballot initiative. This isn’t just about healthcare anymore; this is a fight for Florida’s democracy. And we are not backing down.

The harsh reality is that without Medicaid expansion, thousands of hardworking Florida families will be left in the coverage gap. That's why our team's working to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot in 2026 and help Floridians access the care they deserve!

When big states like Florida hold out on expansion, it weakens Medicaid nationwide and leaves millions of Floridians vulnerable. Federal proposals to cut Medicaid funding would put the health of children, seniors, and people with disabilities at risk.

Florida law requires that petition signatures be verified by February 1st of the general election year that the amendment will appear on the ballot. That means we have just 1 year left to secure the 1 million signatures we need to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot!

The proposed cuts to Medicaid in Congress would leave millions of Americans vulnerable without access to quality, affordable care. As one of 10 states that have yet to expand Medicaid, the impact would be particularly devastating in Florida! #FLMedicaidExpansionNOW

During the COVID-19 pandemic, provisions were put into place to allow people to keep their Medicaid coverage. Florida saw some of the lowest rates of uninsured people. Since those protections have expired, more than 1.3 million Floridians have been disenrolled

Medicaid helps Floridians save money by providing more comprehensive benefits at a significantly lower out-of-pocket cost than private insurance. That's why we're working to expand Medicaid access to 1.4 million Floridians! #FLMedicaidExpansion
