Urge Congress to Close the Coverage Gap.
In Florida and the 11 other states that refuse to expand Medicaid, more than 2 million people still live without reasonable access to health coverage.
The Build Back Better Act currently features several policies that would make health care more affordable:
-
Covering low-income workers in the Medicaid Coverage Gap;
-
Expanding Medicare to include dental, vision, hearing benefits and lowering the eligibility age; and
-
Improving long-term care for seniors and persons with disabilities (HCBS).
The U.S. House and Senate are now working to pass a final budget, but there is no guarantee that Medicaid expansion will be included. That's why it's critical to take action.
With one-click, contact Florida's congressional representatives and urge them to support a permanent and comprehensive fix for the coverage gap in the final budget!
