In a recent interview with Facing South Florida’s Jim DeFede, Lynn Hearn of the Florida Health Justice Project shed light on the issue of nearly a million people in Florida losing their health insurance due to “procedural reasons” related to the state’s complex system for renewing Medicare recipients.
Jim DeFede has been with CBS4 News since January 2006, working as an investigative reporter and hosting the Sunday morning public affairs program, “Facing South Florida.” In this episode, he delved into the intricacies of Florida’s health insurance system and highlighted the struggles that many residents face when trying to renew their coverage.
Lynn Hearn, an attorney representing the Florida Health Justice Project, provided insight into the measures being taken to address this issue. She discussed the legal action that has been taken against the state in federal court over this issue, and how her organization is working to advocate for those affected by these procedural issues.
