Welcome to

There are an estimated 700-thousand kids in Florida with no health coverage, even though the state offers free and low cost insurance for kids.

The Florida KidCare program offers coverage starting at 15 dollars a month, based on need. The need has been growing drastically in the last three years due to the recession. Rich Robleto, the Executive Director of Florida Healthy Kids says the program has been reaching out to parents who’ve lost jobs.

“These are families that might never have though about what kind of a social program is out there, they might not ever have been aware that there are programs. So we put a lot of focus on trying to get our message to the newly unemployed,” said Robleto.

About two million kids are already enrolled in KidCare. You can apply online at www.floridakidcare.org.
