Trump’s mega spending bill and healthcare\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nPresident Trump’s mega spending bill makes changes to two health insurance programs that millions of Floridians rely on: Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n
\nThe law ends any incentive for states to expand Medicaid, which Florida never did.<\/p>\n
\nIt also eliminates expanded subsidies for people who get their health insurance through Healthcare.gov.<\/p>\n

\nThe nonprofit organization tasked with distributing these state-funded vouchers to families mismanaged the money, according to a recent report by the State Auditor General.<\/p>\n
\nAmong the report’s findings were delayed distribution of funds and some over-payments.<\/p>\n
