What changed

The tax credit rules
changed in 2026.

Winter Garden's median household income is $106,495, well above the Orange County figure of $79,719. So the income limit for tax credits may matter for more households here.

“Do I still get a tax credit?”

The larger tax credits of recent years ended on January 1, 2026. As of October 1, 2026, credits are only for incomes from 100% to 400% of the poverty level. A bill called H.R. 1834 would bring the larger credits back. As of October 1, 2026, H.R. 1834 passed the House but not the Senate and is not law. Your credit depends on income and household size, so check instead of guessing.

“Should I look at a private PPO?”

It can make sense to compare, but check your tax credit first. Private plans are not Marketplace plans. They follow different rules. Some private plans ask health questions, and approval is not guaranteed. Our nationwide private PPO page has more.

“Is the hospital near me in the plan?”

Networks are set plan by plan. A nearby hospital may be in one plan and not in another. Look up the hospital you would use before you enroll.

Straight answers

Winter Garden health insurance questions.

What does the 400% limit mean for my household?

The limit is based on the federal poverty level, which depends on how many people live in your household. For 2027 coverage, the limit uses the 2026 federal guidelines. So 400% is $86,560 for 2 people, $109,280 for 3, and $132,000 for 4. As of October 1, 2026, under current law, if your household income is above the limit, you get no tax credit. Check HealthCare.gov for the official 2027 numbers.

Can a private PPO cost less than a Marketplace plan?

There is no single answer. It depends on your age, your health, the plan, and whether you get a tax credit. Some private plans ask health questions, and approval is not guaranteed. We line up both so you can see the numbers for your household.

Are there PPO plans on HealthCare.gov in Orange County?

There were a few in 2026: 14 of Orange County's 208 Marketplace plans were PPOs, and 27 were EPOs. Most of the rest were HMOs. Check each plan's network before you choose.

Is AdventHealth Winter Garden in every plan?

Each plan has its own hospital network, so it varies. AdventHealth Winter Garden began welcoming patients at The Baby Place, its new labor and delivery unit, on August 24, 2026. If you may need it, look it up in each plan's directory before you enroll.

If my income drops during the year, can I get a tax credit then?

If you already have a Marketplace plan, you may be able to, depending on your new income. Report the change on HealthCare.gov as soon as it happens, so your credit can be updated. We can help you with the steps.

When is open enrollment for 2027 coverage in Winter Garden?

Open enrollment is November 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027. Enroll by December 15 if you want coverage on January 1. Enrollments from December 16 to January 15 start February 1. Full dates are in our Florida open enrollment guide.

Open enrollment starts November 1
