How to Get Affordable Health Insurance in Florida

If you're looking for health insurance in Florida, you're not alone. Whether you just lost Medicaid, changed jobs, or need a new plan for your family, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace offers options — and many Floridians qualify for $0/month coverage. This guide explains how to find and enroll in the right plan for your situation.


1. Who Qualifies for Marketplace Health Insurance in Florida?

You can apply for an ACA plan in Florida if:

  • You're a U.S. citizen or legal resident

  • You live in Florida

  • You don’t have affordable employer-sponsored coverage

  • Your household income meets eligibility requirements


Florida Income Guidelines (2025):

A single adult earning $15,000 to $58,000 may qualify. A family of four earning under $120,000 may be eligible for low-cost premiums and subsidies.


2. How to Apply for ACA Health Insurance in Florida

The enrollment process is simple:

  1. Gather income and household size info

  2. Enter your zip code and coverage start date

  3. Compare Bronze, Silver, and Gold plans

  4. See if you qualify for subsidies

  5. Enroll online at Aura Insure

3. Special Enrollment Period: Losing Medicaid or Employer Insurance in Florida

You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if:

  • You lost Medicaid coverage

  • You lost your job or health benefits

  • You had a baby or got married

  • You moved to Florida


You have 60 days after the qualifying event to enroll in a new plan. Don’t wait — many plans start the 1st of the next month.


4. What Health Plans Are Available in Florida?

Top ACA carriers in Florida include:

  • Ambetter from Sunshine Health

  • Florida Blue (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida)

  • Molina Healthcare

  • Oscar Health

  • Cigna


All plans offer essential health benefits like preventive care, hospital visits, prescriptions, and more.


5. How Much Does Health Insurance Cost in Florida?

Your premium depends on:

  • Zip code

  • Household size

  • Annual income


Most Floridians qualify for monthly premiums as low as $0 thanks to ACA subsidies. Preventive care is often free.
