HHS Letter to Senate Appropriations on Impacts of Sequestration: “Sequestration would impair the Department's ability to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS…The Health Resources and Services Administration estimates that 7,400 fewer patients would have access to life-saving HIV medications through the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). This would cause delays in service and drug provision to people living with HIV and potentially lead to ADAP wait lists for HIV medications.” 5.1% cut = $122 million Impact of Sequestration

SB 7144 (aka “The Bean Alternative) Health Choice Plus Program; Authorizing the Florida Health Choices, Inc., to accept funds from various sources to deposit into health benefits accounts, subsidize the costs of coverage, and administer and support the program; requiring the corporation to manage the health benefits accounts and provide the marketplace of options that an enrollee in the program may use; specifying healthy living performance goals; providing for payment for achieving health living performance goals, etc.

Affordable Care Act Implementation Healthy Florida – Senator Negron’s Alternative to Medicaid Expansion SB 7038 (a proposed committee bill) became SB 1816 by the Senate Appropriations Committee would create a system for newly eligible Medicaid recipients up to 138% PFL under the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation, not the Agency for Health Care Administration, with the ability to draw down the 100% federal match for the first three years. The plan would include modest co-pays and incentive accounts for healthy behaviors.

Affordable Care Act Implementation SB 7144 by Health Policy Relating to Health Care (aka “The Bean Alternative) This “Health Choice Plus” bill would expand Florida Healthy Choices, would not draw down federal funds, would subsidize premiums, and would apply to individuals up to 100% FPL.
