Florida Braces for Obamacare Subsidy Cliff

With enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies set to lapse Dec. 31, South Florida—the nation’s largest Obamacare market—faces steep premium shocks and potential coverage losses. Estimates suggest up to a third of Florida’s 4.7 million enrollees could drop plans, with older, lower–middle-income residents hit hardest; premiums for some early-60s earners could jump to $1,000 or more a month. The standoff over extending aid, a driver of the current government shutdown, has reignited Florida’s Obamacare politics, splitting Democrats’ warnings from Governor Ron DeSantis’s push for leaner, catastrophic coverage as families brace for cuts.
