In Florida, 93 percent of enrollees get financial help for Obamacare
The vast majority of Floridians who signed up for healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act this year received financial assistance — the second highest rate of financial help in the nation, according to federal data released Tuesday.
The numbers were released from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services just as the legality of the financial help, which comes in the form of tax credits, is being tested in the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments March 4 in a case challenging tax credits under the provisions of the ACA.
About 93 percent of the nearly 1.6 million Floridians who signed up for health insurance on the federally-facilitated marketplace during the enrollment period that ran from Nov. 15 to Feb. 15 received a tax credit to lower the cost of their monthly premium. In 2014, 91 percent of Florida consumers had financial help.
Only Mississippi ranked higher, with 94 percent of enrollees receiving a tax credit.
