A new study reveals Florida has the fourth-worst health insurance crisis for women in the U.S.
The research by Nevada-based personal injury lawyers H&P Law analyzed uninsured rates among women across all 50 states between 2021 and 2023. Scores for the average number of uninsured women per 1,000 women were calculated to identify the states where women are most at risk if they get sick.
Florida ranks fourth with an average of 81.4 uninsured women per 1,000 women, 57% higher than the national average of 51.7. The Sunshine State recorded 989,900 uninsured women in 2021, its highest during the period, dropping to 880,600 in 2023.
Looking at the study, a spokesperson from H&P Law commented,
“The findings reveal a troubling reality regarding women in states like Florida, who face significant barriers to accessing health care.
“Without adequate insurance, preventive care is often delayed or skipped entirely, leading to higher rates of untreated illnesses and worse health outcomes. Expanding access to affordable coverage can help close these gaps and protect public health.”
