As a mother raising my children in Florida, I never imagined I’d have to fight to keep their access to basic healthcare. But right now, lawmakers are moving forward with legislation that could strip away $4 billion in Medicaid funding from our state. That means real people—families like mine—could lose coverage for doctor’s visits, prescriptions, checkups, and essential care.

 

Medicaid isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

And cutting it? That’s not budget-saving—it’s life-threatening.

 

This petition calls on Senators Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, and Florida state lawmakers to immediately reject any legislation that reduces or restricts Medicaid access in our state. We demand:

 

✔️ NO cuts to Medicaid

✔️ NO work requirements that punish low-income families

✔️ PROTECTION for children, single parents, the elderly, and disabled citizens who depend on care

 

This isn’t a red or blue issue—it’s a human one. We’re not asking for favors. We’re demanding compassion, protection, and justice for Florida’s most vulnerable.

 

Please stand with me and sign this petition. Together, we can send a message that cannot be ignored.

Protect Florida families. Protect Medicaid.

Children are the future of our state, and it's our responsibility to ensure they receive sufficient healthcare to have a fair start in life. If this bill passes, parents like myself who already struggle with the high cost of necessities – formula, diapers, medical care – will face impossible choices that could jeopardize our children's well-being. 

The state's leaders must recognize Medicaid's critical role in providing a safety net for Floridian families striving to meet the challenges of modern life. We need policies that support family health and stability, not erode it. This bill will only exacerbate the obstacles many hardworking families already face, contradicting our state's commitment to supporting its citizen's welfare.

Help us protect the healthcare of millions of Floridians; support those who need Medicaid to thrive. Urge Florida lawmakers to reconsider the bill, and work towards a more inclusive solution that prioritizes the health and future of our families. Please join me in asking our representatives to value the lives of working families and their children. Sign this petition to safeguard Medicaid and ensure it remains accessible to those who rely on it most.
