Only four other states go further than Florida in restricting access to Medicaid. A single parent with two children can’t get coverage for themselves through Medicaid unless they make less than $7,000 a year. An adult without a child can’t get Medicaid coverage at all.
And Florida is one of just 11 states that still has not expanded Medicaid coverage under the 2010 Affordable Care Act. That keeps Medicaid coverage beyond the reach of an estimated 800,000 lower-income Floridians. More than half are people who fall into the “coverage gap,” which means they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid under Florida’s brutish rules but not enough to qualify for federal subsidies that might help them buy private health insurance.
This and many more of the insanely cruel measures our state legislature is considering are discussed in this article
