Florida health insurance companies provide plans for a range of incomes and coverage types.
Florida health insurance companies are part of an enormous industry. According to the Florida Hospital Association, in 2009 alone, the residents of Florida spent 10.8 million days in hospitals, and they and their insurers paid $37 billion in medical fees. The FHA estimates that in 2010, independent health-care providers cover nearly nine million Floridians, while another 3.7 million are uninsured. For the uninsured, the Florida Cares program, run by a consortium of Floridian health-care companies, helps provide access to health care.
