Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the world, and Broward County is home to a massive marine industry. Yacht crew, captain, and marine service professionals face highly unique health insurance needs—often requiring international coverage or flexible private plans that travel with them. At the same time, thousands of local service, retail, and tourism industry professionals navigate the standard Florida Marketplace.
Mercy Makarevich is a licensed South Florida health insurance broker who specializes in yacht crew health insurance and marine industry health plans. Unlike online comparison tools that hand you off to call centers, Mercy provides hands-on, personalized guidance at every step — from comparing private plans to completing ACA 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.
