🩺✨ FLORIDA WINS AGAIN: LEADING THE NATION IN DROPPING OBAMACARE ENROLLMENT ✨🩺
Another bold achievement in the Sunshine State’s long tradition of being aggressively exceptional.
📉 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF UNINTENTIONAL CONSEQUENCES
The preliminary numbers are in, the spreadsheets have spoken, and Florida has once again climbed to the top of a national leaderboard no one was particularly trying to win.
Yes, Florida now leads the entire United States in the number of people who stopped getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. 🏆🇺🇸
If excellence were measured in exits, we’d already be engraving the plaque.
💸 THE SUBSIDY VANISHING ACT
Thanks to Congress’s thrilling decision to not extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies into the new year, premiums shot up with the enthusiasm of a SpaceX launch. 🚀
The result? Tens of thousands of Floridians looked at their new monthly bill, laughed politely, cried briefly, and then said, “You know what, I’ll just vibe without insurance.”
📊 BY THE NUMBERS (BECAUSE PRESTIGE LOVES DATA)
More than 250,000 Floridians said goodbye to their ACA plans — the largest net drop in the country 🎉
Florida still has about 4.5 million people enrolled, because when we commit, we commit hard
That’s a 5.5% decrease, which may sound modest until you realize it’s measured in humans
Nationwide enrollment fell 6.3%, or 1.5 million people, because misery loves company 🤝
43 states saw declines, proving Florida is not alone — just louder
🤠 TEXAS, OF COURSE, DID THE OPPOSITE
In a twist absolutely no one saw coming, Texas actually increased ACA enrollment by 3.7%, rising to 4.1 million people.
Florida, however, remains supreme in total enrollment — because even while shedding coverage, we still insist on being the biggest in the room. Everything’s bigger here… except the subsidies.
🧠 THE BIG PICTURE (PUT ON YOUR THINKING MONOCLE)
Florida’s dominance on the ACA exchange means that when premiums rise, the fallout is… dramatic. Lose federal help, and suddenly health insurance becomes a luxury item — like yachts, beachfront condos, or buying groceries without anxiety. 🛥️🥑
🌴 CONCLUSION: SUN, SURF, AND SELF-INSURED OPTIMISM
So here we are: Florida first, once again.
First in sunshine ☀️
First in headlines 📰
First in people quietly exiting health coverage because math happened 🧮
Congratulations, Florida. You didn’t just drop enrollment — you set the national standard for it. 🥂
