How many children in Florida were eligible for Medicaid under the ACA as of April 2014?

As of April 2014, approximately 362,000 children in Florida were eligible for Medicaid under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This number reflects the expansion of Medicaid eligibility criteria established by the ACA, which aimed to increase access to health insurance for low-income families and children.

Under the ACA, states were encouraged to expand Medicaid coverage to include individuals with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. This change significantly increased the number of children who qualified for Medicaid in many states, including Florida. The figure of 362,000 highlights the impact of the ACA in providing health coverage to previously uninsured children, thereby improving healthcare access and outcomes for this vulnerable population.

Other options presented illustrate ranges of numbers that could reflect varying estimates or interpretations of data, but the correct figure directly corresponds to official reports and assessments from that time regarding Medicaid eligibility in Florida.
