Miami-Dade County is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and fast-moving communities in the United States — but it is also one of the least insured. According to the US Census Bureau, 16.7% of adults under 65 in Miami-Dade County lack health insurance, a rate higher than both the Florida state average (13.9%) and the national average. For many Miami families — especially those who are self-employed, work in the service industry, or recently moved from abroad — finding the right coverage can feel overwhelming. That is exactly where Mercy Makarevich comes in.
As a licensed health insurance broker based in South Florida, Mercy specializes in helping Miami residents navigate the ACA Marketplace, Medicare, and life insurance options available in Miami-Dade County. Whether you live in Coral Gables, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, or downtown Miami, Mercy works directly with you — in English or Spanish — to find a plan that fits your life and your budget.
If you are self-employed, between jobs, or your employer does not offer coverage, the ACA Marketplace (also known as Obamacare) may provide comprehensive coverage. Depending on household income and other eligibility rules, premium tax credits can lower monthly premiums, potentially to $0 for some plans and applicants. Mercy helps estimate potential eligibility, compare Miami-Dade options from represented carriers, and apply during annual Open Enrollment or a qualifying Special Enrollment Period. The Marketplace application determines final eligibility and credit amounts.
Miami is home to a large and growing senior population. If you or a loved one is approaching 65 or already enrolled in Medicare, understanding your options in Miami-Dade is critical. From Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage plans available through Florida carriers, there is significant variation in what is covered and what you will pay out of pocket. Mercy will walk you through your choices and help you avoid costly enrollment mistakes, including late-enrollment penalties that many Miami residents unknowingly trigger.
Medicare Advantage and Medigap solve different problems. Medicare Advantage is a private plan that provides Medicare benefits and may include extras such as dental, vision, hearing, or drug coverage. Medigap, also called Medicare Supplement, works with Original Medicare and helps pay certain out-of-pocket costs.
Neither option is automatically better for every Florida senior. The right choice depends on doctors, prescriptions, travel, budget, health needs, and comfort with provider networks.
With a median household size of 2.8 people and a cost of living well above the national average, protecting your family with life insurance is essential — especially if you are the primary earner. Mercy offers term life and permanent life insurance options tailored to Miami families, including those with mortgage obligations, dependents, or business interests.
Miami's population is approximately 70% Hispanic, and the need for bilingual insurance guidance has never been greater. Mercy conducts consultations in both English and Spanish, ensuring that no language barrier stands between you and the coverage your family deserves. From Little Havana to Aventura, Mercy serves all of Miami-Dade County.

Marketplace insurers in this county (plan year 2026)
Source: Individual Market Availability by Company — Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. Availability can change; confirm on the Marketplace before enrolling.
For plan year 2026, Miami-Dade County has 10 insurers offering on-exchange individual plans. Across Florida that figure ranges from 1 to 11 depending on the county, with a statewide median of 4, which places this market above the state median. A larger issuer count usually means more networks to choose between rather than automatically lower premiums.
Miami's individual market is shaped by a large self-employed and small-business population, a substantial Spanish-speaking community, and heavy reliance on Jackson Health System and Baptist Health. Plans sold here are predominantly HMO products, so a specialist outside the network is typically not covered at all rather than covered at a lower rate.
Miami-Dade County also has 12 insurers in the off-exchange individual market. Off-exchange plans cannot carry premium tax credits, so they only make sense for households that already know they do not qualify for financial help. If there is any chance you do qualify, compare on-exchange options first.
Carriers, networks, and plan availability change by county. If you live or work near Miami or elsewhere in Miami-Dade County, these nearby markets are worth comparing too.
