Florida, hard-hit by Obamacare drop-off, feels the squeeze of rising healthcare costs

Following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act health plans in January, residents across Florida are facing financial hardship and rising healthcare costs. The inability to afford premiums led some, like Elijah Button, to skip necessary emergency care. Figures reported by The Associated Press showed that about 440,000 Floridians dropped their ACA plans this year.
