Medicaid Expansion
A new survey shows where Florida voters stand on the issue of expanding the Medicaid pool to the state’s low-income residents.
The Texas Medical Center’s Health Policy Institute poll finds 68 percent of Florida voters are in favor of Medicaid expansion and 71 percent would vote for a candidate in favor of Medicaid expansion.
We discuss the results with Dr. Arthur (Tim) Garson, director of the TMC Health Policy Institute.
