Florida Officials Want to Delay Expanding Health Care to 42,000 Kids

  • President Joe Biden's administration approved Florida's plan to expand its KidCare health insurance program for an extra 42,000 families on Monday.

Florida officials are seeking to delay the expansion of health care coverage to approximately 42,000 children under the state's KidCare program. The delay stems from a disagreement over funding; the state wants to use federal funds to cover the costs, but the federal government insists that Florida must first increase the income eligibility threshold for the program. Currently, children in families earning up to 200% of the federal poverty level are eligible, but the state aims to raise this to 300%. This expansion would allow more children to receive subsidized health insurance, but the state's refusal to fund the increase without federal support has led to a legislative impasse, potentially leaving many children without access to affordable health care.
