Florida delays KidCare expansion, leading to nearly 600,000 children losing Medicaid coverage.

Florida has seen nearly 600,000 children lose Medicaid coverage since the end of the pandemic, and thousands more have been removed from KidCare due to missed payments. The state is delaying expansion of KidCare for families earning between $51,640 and $77,460 for a family of three, challenging a federal rule that prevents children from losing coverage due to missed payments. This has led to Florida having one of the highest rates of uninsured children in the nation, drawing criticism from child welfare advocates.
