Under the American Rescue Plan, President Biden has made it even easier to get health insurance by extending access to silver plans for no cost to anyone who has received unemployment assistance in the last year.
As we saw throughout this year, when progressives organize, mobilize, and fight back, we stand a good chance at winning even against seemingly impossible odds. In 2018, with your help, here are just some of the things Progress Florida will be doing.
Millions of Florida children, seniors, and families have health care today through the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid. The Republican health care plan has put their future in doubt.
Florida’s refusal to expand the Medicaid program has had numerous negative consequences for our state. One of the more tragic is that Florida children who would have received coverage with expansion have not.
Today the Supreme Court decided the fate of more than six million Americans and more than a million Floridians, ensuring they will continue to be able to afford quality health coverage.
This problem isn’t going away and will only grow more serious as federal funds to assist uncompensated care end and the momentum for a permanent solution becomes unstoppable. Florida House Republicans have only extended the fight, they haven’t ended it.
Call 866-443-1844 today and tell your state representative that it is time to stop playing politics and expand health care for more than one million hard-working Floridians.
