Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed 10 bills, including a measure that will expand eligibility for the KidCare subsidized health insurance program.

The KidCare bill , which passed unanimously during the legislative session that ended May 5, will revamp an income threshold for families.

Subsidized coverage is available to families with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level, or about $60,000 for a family of four, according to a House staff analysis. House bill sponsors Robin Bartleman, D-Weston, and Dana Trabulsy, R-Fort Pierce, issued statements Thursday that said families have faced the dilemma of losing KidCare coverage if they earn more money.
