What

In the wake of the pandemic, more than 1.1 million uninsured Floridians stand to gain health coverage through Medicaid expansion, many of whom are small business owners and employees. Despite the significant financial incentives, Florida legislators have instead proposed cuts to the state's Medicaid program. Join The Florida Health Justice Project, Florida Voices for Health and the Florida Policy Institute as Floridians rally online in support of healthcare for our businesses, employees and families.


During this session, you will hear from U.S. Congressman Charlie Crist (FL-13), State Senator Annette Taddeo (SD-40) and State Rep. Anna Eskamani (HD-47) about efforts to expand Medicaid. Additionally, Small Business Majority's Vice President of Outreach David Chase will be speaking on a panel about Medicaid's impact on small businesses.
