Let local governments opt in to expanded Medicaid

Frankel supports legislation that would let individual counties, cities, and towns opt in to expanded Medicaid. She links this approach to Florida’s refusal to expand Medicaid and also supports increasing federal Medicaid reimbursement rates.

Context: The proposed opt-in is for local governments in Florida; the passage does not specify how the program would operate or which residents would qualify. Reported in a 2026 candidate interview/guide; the exact original statement date is not established.
