Cover Florida Healthcare Plans
During the 2008 legislative session, the Crist administration worked with legislators of both parties to secure unanimous approval of the Cover Florida Health Care Access Program. This legislation makes affordable health coverage available to 3.8 million uninsured Floridians through a comprehensive marketbased strategy.
Cover Florida gives uninsured Floridians the opportunity to take charge of their own preventive health care. The plan includes includes a robust set of benefits, including coverage for preventive services, screenings, and office visits, as well as office surgery, urgent care, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, and diabetic supplies.
