How many individuals in Florida were eligible for a Marketplace Plan as of April 2014?

In April 2014, the number of individuals in Florida who were eligible for a Marketplace Plan under the Affordable Care Act was estimated to be 1,603,575. This figure is based on the data collected during the initial open enrollment period, which began in October 2013 and concluded in March 2014. The ACA aimed to expand access to health insurance to millions of Americans, and states like Florida, with a large uninsured population, saw a significant number of individuals qualifying for coverage through the newly established health insurance marketplaces.

Understanding the specific number is crucial as it reflects the impact of the ACA in states with high uninsured rates and illustrates the importance of outreach and enrollment efforts aimed at educating eligible individuals about their options under the Affordable Care Act. The other figures provided do not align with the official estimates reported in that period, highlighting the significance of accurate data in assessing the reach of the ACA.
