Florida sets new record for Affordable Care Act enrollment

A record 2.7 million Floridians signed up for health insurance through the federal program known as Obamacare.

Sophany Nuth’s 30-hour a week job baking doughnuts doesn’t come with health insurance.

His weekly take-home pay is about $318. With rent, food and other bills, the 35-year-old Seffner father couldn’t afford the $400 a month quotes he got from private health insurers to cover him, his wife and two young children.

He was so worried, Nuth, considered moving his family to Canada or Australia, which have universal healthcare.

“It’s a big stress in the family,” he said.

But Nuth is staying in Florida after enrolling his family in a health care plan through the Affordable Care Act market place that he found with the help of navigators from the Family Healthcare Foundation. It will cost just $18 a month.
