Friend, several of Governor Ron DeSantis’ anti-immigrant
laws have now gone into effect in Florida, many of which will impact immigrants’
access to health care. One of these bills, SB 1718, requires Florida’s hospitals
that accept Medicaid to ask patients if they are undocumented before they can be
admitted — a policy they designed specifically to make sure thousands of Florida
immigrants will not get the care they need.

Unfortunately, this isn’t some unforeseen outcome: instilling fear in our
communities is this law’s intended purpose.

This bill is proof of the growing pattern of politicians across the country who
are deliberately targeting immigrants with policies that strip away our rights
and prioritize politics over the people they serve.

That's one of the many reasons why we at NILC are working to advance health care
for all. We are putting our time and resources into fighting in the courts and
in Congress to strengthen health care access and supporting local and state
organizations fighting back against laws like those promoted by DeSantis.

This is where you come in, team. Will you help sustain
our work fighting for health care for all with a donation today? Anything you
can give will go a long way toward building a country where everyone has access
to the care they need to thrive.

sentiment.
