🚨Florida Medicaid: Facts Over Fear — Francesca Yabraian vs. Salzman🚨

Medicaid should help Floridians get healthcare when they need it. Right now, Florida leaves 1 million low-income adults uninsured, care is confusing, and the system doesn’t reward quality.

Some candidates, like Michelle Salzman, spread fear:

“Medicaid expansion leads to more debt, dependency, and poverty.”

The truth? Research proves she’s wrong. Francesca Yabraian delivers real solutions.
