Florida has a state-sponsored program called the Florida Comprehensive Health Association that was intended to help people with a history of medical problems in their family or pre-existing conditions to purchase medical coverage. Unfortunately, the program has been closed for new enrollment since 1991. This may contribute to the fact that Florida is in the top five states in the nation with the highest percentage of uninsured individuals. Fortunately, Florida does offer a state sponsored program for children call KidCare.

The Florida KidCare program provides health care coverage to children in families with incomes that do not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Most qualifying families will pay less than $20 for coverage if eligibility requirements are met. Eligibility requirements for the KidCare program are based on age, family size, household income and other factors.
