Millions of Floridians Will Bear the Brunt of Trump’s Health Cuts
Medicaid cutbacks and the end of enhanced Obamacare subsidies leave patients and hospitals in the state with difficult choices
As this year began, Florida had more enrollees in ACA plans — some 4.5 million — than any other state, largely because of its higher concentration of small businesses, the self-employed and early retirees.
Among them are people like Julee Ellison, 61, who owns a handbag-making business in Manatee County, along the state’s Gulf Coast south of Tampa Bay.

The foundation’s financials, due May 15, should include the charity’s accounting for the $10 million it received from a state Medicaid settlement, most of which wound up in a political committee intent on defeating the recreational marijuana ballot amendment during the 2024 election — a priority for the governor....
Money spent on a constitutional ballot initiative would be considered lobbying, and money spent on a candidate is political, the experts said.
Records indicate much of the $10 million went to both.
After the DeSantis administration steered the money to the Hope Florida Foundation, the charity wired $5 million to Secure Florida’s Future, run by the Florida Chamber of Commerce. It wired another $5 million to Save Our Society From Drugs, a St. Petersburg organization associated with Drug Free America.
The two nonprofits then sent $8.5 million to Keep Florida Clean, the political committee intent on defeating the recreational marijuana amendment. Attorney General James Uthmeier controlled Keep Florida Clean during the 2024 election to assist the DeSantis administration’s effort to defeat the recreational marijuana amendment. At the time, Uthmeier was Gov. Ron DeSantis’ chief of staff.
