The City of Jacksonville has launched its 2025 Get Covered Jax! campaign, which is designed to help Jacksonville residents without health insurance get covered.

Mayor Deegan and healthcare leaders in City Hall created Get Covered Jax! back in 2023, because they wanted to help make the process of enrolling in a private healthcare plan as simple – and as painless – as possible.

The campaign seeks to educate citizens about the benefits of having health insurance, eligibility, coverage options available, and best practices for navigating the Marketplace. It also provides resources to help consumers through the process.

In order to help this information reach as many individuals as possible, the city is working with several faith-based leaders, community healthcare providers and media outlets to promote it.

To that end, Mayor Deegan’s health team, and insurance agents will host a phone bank at WJCT Studios to answer questions from Jacksonville residents, provide updates on potential changes, and assist with plan enrollment on Thursday, December 11, from 7am-7pm. Phonebank volunteers can be reached at 904-516-2552 during this window.

The campaign was a huge success in its first two years.  Since the 2023 open enrollment period, we have added 75,507 new enrollees on ACA. This is a 69% increase in folks on ACA plans in Duval County since 2023. There are now 184,795 Duval County residents on ACA in 2025 vs 109,287 in 2023.

Approximately 111,000 adults between the ages of 19-65 – roughly 10 percent of that population– are currently uninsured in Duval County. And, from now through January 15, 2026, eligible individuals can enroll in a private healthcare plan through the Florida Health Insurance Marketplace.
