MEDICAID EXPANSION STREET THEATER

from Ted Parsons

It's the last week of the Florida legislative session and still no movement on Medicaid Expansion. As many as six people a day are dying without it. 360 have died during this legislative session.

We've carried signs, called, written and emailed legislators, so in one last effort before the end of the session we are resorting to -- STREET THEATER!! 

If the press won't come to us, we will go to them.
AWAKE Palm Beach County coalition presents:
Street Theater and Die-in
4:30pm on April 30th (yep, 4:30 4/30)
In front of the Palm Beach Post
2751 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, Florida 33405

*Die in---6 people a day are dying due to the blocking of Medicaid expansion
*Three grim reapers who are refusing the 51 billion dollars we have coming to the people of Florida
*Nurses that will not have jobs and will not be able to treat the dying

Our message:
1. No support for the budget without Medicaid Expansion!
2. Those who are blocking the Medicaid expansion are responsible for these deaths.


Act a role, or carry a sign. But please join us to send this important message!
