No matter their political affiliations, most Floridians want big change in Florida’s health care system.
In early 2022, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation surveyed attitudes on affordability in health care across our state. They found that over 40% of Floridians, have faced financial hardship as a result of medical bills. They also reported the most frustrating health care issues include unexpected costs, high health insurance deductibles, and bills received after care. As a result, Floridians— overwhelmingly—support Florida’s state leaders in making health insurance more affordable. So do we. Read about the findings, then add your name to the growing movement supporting quality, affordable health coverage in the Sunshine State.

I am a surgeon by training, and like most doctors, I treat patients one-on-one. Most of us went to medical school and became clinicians for that one-on-one connection, and I know the medical care we provide for our patients is valuable.
Yet to fully serve our patients, we are responsible for thinking more broadly about our patients and their families. We must think critically about healthcare policies that affect our patients, and there is one right now that should be top of mind: Medicaid expansion.

“So many Floridians want big changes to our health care system. It’s high time we remove partisan politics from deciding who gets access to quality healthcare and who doesn’t.”
