Connecting the Dots: How Medicaid Expansion will Improve Public Health, Increase Financial Stability, and Lessen Disparities in South Florida

12/31/2019

Florida is currently one of just 14 states that have not expanded Medicaid, leaving large numbers of low- income residents without health coverage, including over a million people in South Florida.
