Branches of government of state of Florida associated with Health Care
Executive, legislation and judiciary are three prime branches of government of state of Florida.
All three branches work hand in hand and are closely linked to improve governance and
implement laws passed by the house. Legislative body consists of public representatives who
vote for bills to be passed. Bills passed by legislative body are made laws in the state. Executive
body has the task to implement the laws passed by the legislative body. Judiciary interprets the
constitution and looks to any challenges against the constitution and provides justice in true
sense of interpretation of laws [Florida State Resource Center (2014)].
Medical and health care bills and laws are passed by the legislative branch of the state and an
Agency for Health Care Administration under the executive branch stands responsible for
implementing those laws and making sure of the health of people of Florida. Agency for Health
Care Administration deals with Medicaid Programs regulates private and government services
and imparts necessary information to people by spreading awareness amongst people about their
health care rights [Florida State Resource Center (2014)].
USA gives right to decide for their health care allegiance with the federal system. Affordable
Care Act of 2010 is being implemented in different states but State of Florida has taken up some
of the portions of ACA act as their state laws and some of them are not been accepted. For
example Florida agrees with the federal Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Program and also
agrees with Public Employee Health Plans Coordinated with ACA but Florida’s legislative
branch has not approved Medicaid Expansion program of ACA. Last debate over Medicaid
Expansion was carried out in May 2013. Medicaid Expansion is surely an economic step because
paying for needy families insurance requires increase in taxes. Public Employee Health Plans

Coordinated with ACA and federal Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Program are surely carry
political aspect because these two were implemented in US long time ago and they are now just
updated a little bit so representatives in Florida State are benefitting from these politically
[NCSL (2014)].
Innovations Started by VA
VA department surfaced many new programs in health care focusing mainly onto the treatment
and benefits of the general public of the state. General Benefits Information, Disability
Rehabilitation Programs and Rescue Courses are few examples of these innovative ideas.
General Benefits Information Program sends disease related letters to residence places of the
patients to aware them of the disease symptoms and cure. Special discounted rates are offered to
the people bringing those letters with them while carrying out treatment. Disability rehabilitation
programs focus on disable people using latest technology in serving patients and Rescue Courses
are the emergency handling courses if any of the patient or person faces some disaster. These
courses teach some first aid to the patients until they reach proper hospital to be treated. These
new programs are effectively implemented in many VA hospitals in state and these programs are
awaking people of medical care and they are taking more interest in getting better treatment due
to easier accessibility and affordability. For example someone broke his leg by falling of stairs
and nobody is there to take him hospital, VA program would able him to take care of himself for
emergency aid and he can be treated later and taken to proper medical care.
