Health for All - hands holding heart with medical cross

Medicaid Expansion

At Doctors for America we know how important Medicaid expansion is for our patients. That’s why we’re committed to advocating for Medicaid expansion in the ten states that have not yet expanded Medicaid.

Doctors for America is proud to have been a part of the Medicaid expansion campaign in North Carolina as well as the successful ballot campaign in South Dakota. Our powerful team of advocates continue to work in the non-expansion states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming, leaving 1.5 million uninsured individuals without affordable coverage options. Adults who fall into the coverage gap have incomes above their state’s eligibility for Medicaid but below poverty, making them ineligible for subsidies in the ACA Marketplaces.

Please use the videos as an educational roadmap to learn how to talk about Medicaid expansion in the non-expansion states. While some videos talk specifically about expansion in a particular state, the message and themes can be customized to fit the current situation in other states. 

These videos are excellent sources of information about building allies and educating other physician and medical trainee advocates on Medicaid expansion. Thank you for supporting access to health care!
