Health Care Under Attack: How to Fight Back

Date: Tuesday, October 14
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center
Address: 525 Kumquat Court, Sarasota


With cuts to Medicaid, healthcare affordability issues, insurance coverage gaps, barriers to reproductive health, and the growing backlash against science – from undermining vaccines to limiting vaccine availability to promoting false information about the cause of autism – it’s clear that our healthcare system is under attack on many different levels.

"Florida is one of 10 states that have refused to expand Medicaid, sending many low-income earners to the marketplace for coverage. Gov. Ron DeSantis and members of the Republican-led Legislature argue expansion could saddle the state with long-term costs, even though the federal government covers 90%." –Mary Mayhew, president and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association, via WUSF’s “The Florida Roundup”
