The proposed Healthy Florida Act aims to create a comprehensive health care plan for all Florida residents, regardless of immigration status, through the establishment of the Florida Health Plan. This plan will cover a wide range of health services, including dental, vision, mental health, reproductive care, and long-term care, while emphasizing patient choice, affordability, and preventive care. The Florida Health Board will oversee the plan, managing enrollment, negotiating prices, and ensuring timely access to care. Key provisions include eligibility criteria for residents, protection of private data, and the prohibition of cost-sharing requirements for enrollees, ensuring that health care providers cannot bill patients for covered services.

Additionally, the bill outlines the governance structure of the Florida Health Board, including the establishment of regional planning boards and the Office of Health Quality and Planning to assess the plan's effectiveness. It mandates the creation of various committees, such as the Conflict-of-Interest Committee and the Ombudsman Office for Patient Advocacy, to promote accountability and ethical governance. The operational timeline requires the Florida Health Plan to be functional within two years after July 1, 2025, and prohibits the sale of health insurance policies covering services provided by the plan once it is operational. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
