Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed several healthcare-related bills into law, marking a significant shift in the state's healthcare policy. Among the legislation signed were bills aimed at expanding doctor training, incentivizing healthcare innovation, and requiring DNA samples from all Florida inmates. The healthcare bills were spearheaded by Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, with one notable bill dubbed the "Live Healthy" legislation, intended to bolster the workforce and innovation within the healthcare sector. Despite these advancements, Florida lawmakers have once again decided against the expansion of Medicaid, a move that has been met with criticism from various quarters. The new laws also include a mandate for the Florida Department of Corrections to ensure DNA samples are collected from all inmates, a measure aimed at enhancing criminal justice processes.
