Join Southerners from Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and South Carolina who are uniting to expand Medicaid for our essential workers, our communities of color and our uninsured families and children!
There has never been a more dire moment for the Southerners for Medicaid Expansion coalition to unite and fight for our people. The South has the nation’s highest uninsured rates, overwhelming rates of poverty, chronic health conditions, and racial health inequities.
With over 1.5 million COVID-19 cases, and 56 rural hospital closures since 2014, expanding Medicaid would allow nearly 7.5 million people who are uninsured to gain coverage in these eight states that have denied health coverage to their residents.
For the first time, Southerners are collectively organizing to show the nation that we can unite to fight the legacy of slavery, economic oppression and racist political ideology to ensure access to affordable healthcare in the midst of the worst pandemic in modern history.
