Reading the Florida Marketplace

The ACA marketplace in Florida lists 410 plans from 16 issuers spread across 67 counties. The statewide average premium is $728/mo for a 27-year-old, $888/mo at age 40, and $1,885/mo at age 60 — reflecting the ACA's 3-to-1 age rating band. Individual plan premiums run from $231 at the low end to $2,502 at the high end, before subsidies.

Geography drives most of the within-state variation: Monroe posts the highest Silver average at $1,318/mo, while Holmes sits at $615/mo — a gap shaped by local issuer competition, hospital pricing, and risk-pool composition rather than benefit differences, since every marketplace plan must cover the same 10 essential health benefits. The statewide average annual deductible is $4,963, the amount most enrollees must pay before non-preventive coverage begins.

Premium tax credits (APTCs) further reduce what most enrollees pay out of pocket, with the size of the subsidy keyed to each county's benchmark (second-lowest Silver) premium.
