Studies are showing that states that have already expanded medicaid are saving lives. One statistic that jumps out: For every 176 people added, one life will be saved each year.

It seems all anyone can talk about is the cost of the medicaid expansion.
When will people start talking about how medicaid expansion saves lives?
Our own Gov. Scott Fraud has already rejected the medicaid expansion if only for political reasons. Of course, Gov. Fraud states that the cost is the reason he rejected it. But, what about all the deaths that can be prevented by getting these low-income people on medicaid?
Please call or write our Governor to implore him not to reject the medicaid expansion.
Ask our Honorable Governor to put the people before his party. (for once)
Tell Rick Scott that people's lives are more important than tea party votes in the next election.
The life that is saved could be a loved one of yours.
Thanks for your consideration.
BIG
