As the Feb 15 deadline nears to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace, official reports show more than a million Floridians have signed up with an overwhelming majority qualifying for tax credits.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services is highlighting the affordability of the Affordable Health Care Act while last minute stragglers weigh their options.
According to the department, 1.3 million Floridians have already signed up and a little over 90 percent of enrollees qualify for financial assistance or tax credits.
That means a steep reduction in out-of-pocket costs for insurance premiums.
According to Healthcare.gov, the average Floridian saw their premium drop by 77 percent after the tax credits are applied.
