A Florida Medicaid Care Equality Amendment will not appear on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment. If enacted this measure would have mandated that Florida Health Care Providers accept and treat all patients with Medicaid, Medipass, and approved Medicaid Substitution Programs equally to all other forms of insured patients. The amendment was introduced by Right to Equal Healthcare Coalition on February 16, 2011.[1]
