His new Florida insurer no longer lets drugmaker coupons count toward his deductible, leaving him to pay thousands of dollars for medication that previously cost him nothing after insurance.

Margaret Hvatum ended up in the hospital after her insurer denied coverage of a medicine she relies on to boost her immune system.

A bill that includes a stopgap measure to restore cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program through June 30 — the end of the fiscal year — is heading to Gov. DeSantis' desk.

The man, diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, said he was reassured the drugmaker’s copay card would cover his share, but after two months, the card was empty.

Insurers will take drug costs, frequency of use and other factors into account as they set premium amounts for the 2026 plan year.

Young adults without jobs that provide insurance find their options are limited and expensive. The problem is about to get worse.
