Millions of Floridians expected to lose Medicaid soon. How will it affect you? Tell us
Are you at risk of losing your Medicaid coverage?
Over a million Floridians, many of them children, are expected to lose their Medicaid coverage starting in April once the federal COVID emergency comes to an end. During the pandemic, Medicaid participants were automatically re-enrolled in the health insurance program run by states and the federal government. Now, their eligibility will be checked again.
And because Florida is one of 10 states that didn’t expand Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act, thousands of Florida families are expected to fall into the Medicaid access gap.

This gap happens when families have incomes above the state’s eligibility for Medicaid but are below the federal poverty line ($13,590 for an individual in 2022, $23,030 for a family of three, according to healthcare.gov). They won’t be eligible for Medicaid or for coverage within the Affordable Care Act marketplace.
