Dear Legislators, 

We the undersigned urge you to approve the expansion of health care coverage to most Floridians with incomes up to 138% of the poverty level, as provided in the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured in the country, but extending Medicaid coverage as provided by the ACA is estimated to provide coverage for nearly 600,000 uninsured Floridians, particularly low-wage workers and parents. Moreover, the Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Health Policy estimates health care expansion will create an estimated 65,000 new Florida jobs in the first six years alone.

Please approve this important provision of the ACA without delay. More than one million Floridians and their families are counting on you.

Florida legislators are deciding right now whether our state will accept critical federal funds which would provide health care to hard-working families while creating jobs. Yet some state lawmakers want to block this funding, leaving Florida to continue struggling to care for the uninsured.

Sign the petition to Florida's legislators today and urge them to expand Medicaid to nearly 600,000 hard working Florida families who need access to quality health care.
