COVER FLORIDA--LIBERTARIAN-DIRECTION FLORIDA HEALTHCARE

Posted on January 5, 2009 at 12:49 PM

Florida has responded to the health care debate by working with private insurers to highlight low cost plans.

 

The program, CoverFlorida, follows a lobbying campaign initiated by Florida Libertarians through the Club participants to remove legal redtape to lower cost private plans.

 

The Clubs are non-partisan and do not do lobbying campaigns, but a  call group has been formed by club members.

 

While states are creating mandatory universal plans, the move has been praised with Florida going in the opposite direction to encourage low-cost plans. See: http://www.coverfloridahealthcare.com/

 

Many Libertarians would like to see an array of "Private Medicaid" plans supported by voluntarily funded trusts or insurer discounts.
