President Kathleen Passidomo

Much like she spearheaded the “Live Local Act” last year, which focused on expanding affordable housing, Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo is now promoting “Live Healthy,” a package of bills scheduled for the upcoming 2024 legislative session that center on increasing access to health care.

In broad strokes, the measures will target growing Florida’s health care workforce, expanding financial eligibility for residents to get treated at low-cost or free clinics for urgent and primary health care needs, emergency diversion, and incentivizing companies to employ new health technology.
