Absolutely right @GovRonDeSantis and @SHarrisFL . For three decades, Florida has provided subsidized health insurance to children in low- and moderate-income families who do not qualify for Medicaid. This provides a bridge for working families on the path to private coverage.

. @GovRonDeSantis is absolutely right;there are additional low-cost coverage options available for children beyond Medicaid, including Florida Healthy Kids. For any recipient deemed ineligible for Medicaid, FHK reaches out to provide options. Coverage can be as low as $15 a month

Illegal immigration has caused a significant burden on Florida’s health care system. During Fiscal Year 21/22, Florida hospitals reported a $312.92M cost attributed to illegal aliens. Thank you @GovRonDesantis for bringing much needed transparency and action to this crisis.

@PhRMA knows we are over the target. Florida’s 🇨🇦 Rx Importation Program is only necessary because Big Pharma exploits 🇺🇸 consumers by charging them more for drugs. The @US_FDA should end Big Pharma’s stranglehold by approving Florida’s program.
