Right now, 2 million people across the country don’t have access to any form of affordable, quality health care. ACS CAN has partnered with filmmakers to create short films that center the voices of community members and shine light on the importance of Medicaid coverage. Medicaid coverage empowers us all to live healthy lives, and we’re working with faith leaders, health care professionals, and other community leaders to start conversations and close the gap between people who do and don’t have health coverage.
Join the conversation about the impact of Medicaid for individuals, families, and communities.
