A Healthy New Year Begins with Health Coverage

A healthy new year is something we all talk about this time of year. New Year’s resolutions fly around like crazy. I’ll eat better. I’ll exercise more. I’ll eat healthier. I’ll do XYZ. We all have them, and we all have the best intentions to keep those resolutions. One resolution we should all keep is making sure that our children are insured. It can be tough for some families, but for those who live in Florida, Florida KidCare is there to ensure that a healthy new year is a reality.

Healthcare You Can Afford

If you recall, a few posts ago, I mentioned that there are approximately 283, 000 children in Florida without health insurance. That is a terrifying number. That’s over a quarter of a million children who cannot get the health and preventative care that they need to live their best lives. For the parents of these children, life is always up in the air. A cough or a sneeze could mean the beginning of something that will have to be taken care of by a medical professional.

BUT the good news is that of those 283,000 children, more than 172,000 are estimated to be eligible for free or discounted health insurance from Florida KidCare. There’s hope for a healthy new year after all! The best part is that for most families it’s free. Families that aren’t eligible for free health care may still qualify for coverage at only $15 or $20 a month.

Healthcare That Works

There’s a myth out there that insurance like this isn’t as good as private insurance. As a mother whose daughter was enrolled in Florida KidCare from birth through age 18th birthday, I can say that that is not the case. My daughter has horrible allergy and sinus issues, and Florida KidCare made it possible for us to keep her happy and healthy in spite of that. It works, and it works well!

With this insurance, families have access to quality healthcare at a reduced cost or for free, it is quality with a capital Q. Through Florida KidCare, parents have access to health, vision, hearing, and dental care for their children. Children also have access to preventive care. Program benefits include doctor visits, check-ups, hospital stays, surgeries, vaccinations, prescriptions, emergencies, mental health services, and more. Florida KidCare has got your kid covered from head to toe!

Healthcare That’s Easy

Florida KidCare makes it easy for parents to enroll in their children for health and dental insurance. You can apply online, via phone, or see an in-person application specialist who can answer your questions and help guide you through the application process. When parents fill out the free application, Florida KidCare will match them with the right coverage based on household size, family income, and the children’s ages. With year-round open enrollment, the time to apply is always now!
