The "Healthy Florida Act," as outlined in House Bill 1603, aims to create a comprehensive health care plan for all Florida residents, regardless of immigration status. The bill introduces a new part within Chapter 641 of the Florida Statutes, detailing the Florida Health Plan's purpose, eligibility, and benefits. Key features include coverage for a wide array of health services such as dental, vision, mental health, and reproductive care, while eliminating premiums, copayments, and deductibles to enhance affordability. The bill also establishes the Florida Health Board to oversee the plan's implementation and financial arrangements, ensuring that health care providers cannot bill patients for covered services.

Additionally, the bill expands the range of services covered under the Florida Health Plan, including mental health care, dental, vision, and hearing care, as well as long-term supportive services. It mandates the formation of regional health planning boards to oversee health care services in designated areas and creates the Office of Health Quality and Planning to assess the plan's effectiveness and funding adequacy. The legislation also establishes an Ombudsman Office for Patient Advocacy and a Conflict-of-Interest Committee to ensure ethical practices. The bill requires the Florida Health Plan to be operational within two years of enactment and prohibits the sale of health insurance policies covering services included in the plan once it is operational. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the adoption of related legislation.
