Florida’s healthcare landscape presents unique challenges.

It has the highest uninsured rate in the U.S., some of the highest commercial hospital prices, and an average health insurance premium of $7,500 annually for individuals. These pressures have spurred the state to pass crucial reforms, including an all-payer claims database, pharmacy benefit management reforms, and medical debt collection protections.
