State economists gather to review children’s health insurance enrollment program
Florida’s top economists agree enrollment in the Florida KidCare program will increase in the months ahead as the state begins to remove people from Medicaid as part of the end of the public health emergency associated with COVID-19.
the group of economists tasked with keeping tabs on Florida health care programs concluded that KidCare, a subsidized health care program for children, will see its enrollment grow as Medicaid begins to pare back its enrollment to pre-pandemic levels.
Economists agreed enrollment in one component of KidCare — Florida Healthy Kids — will increase by 22,214 people in May and June.
