A Healthy Florida Works
Regarding the Florida Senate’s Passage of the FHIX Program
“Florida’s business community called for action on our state’s health care crisis, and the Florida Senate responded. Today, the upper chamber took a historic step forward by passing Senate Bill 2-A, which creates the Florida Health Insurance Affordability Exchange Program (FHIX). A uniquely Florida solution, the FHIX program provides a fiscally responsible pathway to health care coverage for more than 800,000 low-income, working Floridians.
Throughout the regular session, and in this special session, the Florida Senate has continued to demonstrate the courage to lead and the wisdom to compromise on an issue that has an immense impact on our state. Its resolve is to be commended and we truly appreciate the efforts of President Gardiner and all of the Florida Senate for developing a solution.
The Florida Senate has chosen to do what is in the best interests of Florida businesses and families. We now look to the Florida House of Representatives to do the same.â€
