Elected Democrats, along with health and left-leaning policy advocates, want to bypass Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Republicans, who are unwilling to accept federal money to expand the Medicaid program to provide health coverage for low-income, uninsured Floridians.

If you don’t have care and you don’t have coverage, which is our unserved communities, there is a massive disparity in terms of health outcomes.”
