We are deeply concerned by this recently published federal data revealing a double-digit spike in health insurance premiums for Floridians. This will have a devastating impact on the under-resourced communities we serve.

For many low-income families, the choice between paying a higher premium and going without coverage is not a choice at all. This surge in costs will make essential healthcare even more inaccessible, forcing people to delay or forgo critical care, and increasing financial hardship.

This will disproportionately affect individuals and families who are already struggling, leading to a rise in the uninsured rate and placing an even greater burden on community health centers and other safety-net providers.

This highlights the urgent need to advocate for policies that make healthcare affordable and equitable for everyone.

BREAKING: Recently published federal data reveals significant health insurance cost increases for the coming year. The double-digit spike means Floridians will either pay more out of pocket or risk living without coverage.

The Health Planning Council of Southwest Florida is hosting this training; we believe the insights and preparedness strategies shared could be valuable to nonprofits across the state—especially as we navigate the challenges of this hurricane season.
