• Medicaid | The Lived Experience:

    Share Your Story

    Medicaid is an essential program for over 4 million Floridians

    --particularly in light of the COVID pandemic. Yet Florida is one of 12 states that has not expanded Medicaid. 

     

    Now, more than ever, the public, the media and policymakers need to see and hear the STORIES of individuals and families who rely on Medicaid.

  • Lights, Camera, Advocacy!

    In partnership with the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), we are using the Soapboxx video recording app to create short testimonials about how Medicaid has impacted you or a family member.

     

    Sharing your story on video will serve as a powerful advocacy tool to help educate the public, the media and policymakers in understanding how important Medicaid is for Floridians and their families.

     

    These videos will be used on our "Medicaid | The Lived Experience" project as well as featured on our social media accounts - Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

     

    With the Soapboxx app, you can easily use your cell phone, tablet or computer to record your video and upload it. You will have between 20-90 seconds to record your testimonial. Also, you can retake your video as many times as necessary till you get a version of it that you like.

     

    To help you easily navigate the Soapboxx app, we have provided information below that will assist you in preparing for your recording, explains each step in the video creation process as well as outlines the details to ensure a successful submission of your testimonial.
