Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County area is one of the most dynamic health insurance markets in Florida. With a population of nearly 1.9 million across Broward County, and an uninsured rate of approximately 15% among adults under 65, tens of thousands of Fort Lauderdale residents are either uninsured or on plans that do not fully meet their needs. Whether you are a young professional in downtown Fort Lauderdale, a small business owner in Plantation, or a family in Pembroke Pines — understanding your health insurance options is one of the most important financial decisions you can make.
Mercy Makarevich is a licensed health insurance broker based in South Florida who works directly with Fort Lauderdale and Broward County residents. Unlike online comparison tools that hand you off to call centers, Mercy provides hands-on, personalized guidance at every step — from comparing plan options to completing enrollment paperwork.
Fort Lauderdale residents who are self-employed, freelancers, or between jobs can access comprehensive health coverage through the ACA Marketplace. Depending on your household income, you may qualify for significant federal subsidies that dramatically reduce your monthly premium. Mercy will review your eligibility, walk you through every plan available in Broward County, and help you choose coverage that balances monthly cost with out-of-pocket protection.
Broward County has a substantial and growing senior population. Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities like Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Hallandale Beach are popular retirement destinations. If you are approaching Medicare eligibility or already enrolled, Mercy can help you compare Original Medicare versus Medicare Advantage plans available to Broward County beneficiaries — and avoid costly mistakes like missed enrollment windows.
With Fort Lauderdale's rising housing costs and growing number of dual-income households, life insurance is a critical safety net. Mercy offers straightforward consultations on term and permanent life insurance options suited to Fort Lauderdale families, homeowners, and small business owners.
