Florida ACA health insurance enrollment decline

Overview

Florida is experiencing a significant decline in Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies at the end of 2025. Approximately 443,000 residents have dropped their health insurance plans, representing a 10% decrease from the previous year and marking the sharpest enrollment drop in the United States.

The loss of subsidies has caused many residents to face doubled or tripled insurance costs, leading some to switch to lower-cost plans with higher deductibles or avoid medical care entirely due to financial strain.

Looking toward the 2027 policy year, twelve insurers have submitted proposed rate increases to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, with filings ranging from 3.87% to 39.14%. Additionally, market competition is expected to decrease as several carriers, including Cigna Healthcare of Florida and Molina Healthcare, are projected to exit the state marketplace.
