Tamika Maxwell: Florida is gutting kids’ access to pediatric care. It must act now to fix it.

Florida's Medicaid payment errors are severely limiting children's access to essential pediatric care, prompting urgent calls for corrective action. Pediatricians and healthcare advocates argue that these systemic issues are putting young lives at risk and undermining the state's public health goals. This crisis highlights a broader problem in Medicaid funding and administration, which could have far-reaching implications for the state's healthcare system and the well-being of its youngest citizens. Addressing this issue is crucial to ensure all kids receive the care they need.
