Davie is one of Broward County's largest municipalities by land area and is known for its distinctive mix of suburban neighborhoods, equestrian estates, and the expansive campus of Nova Southeastern University (NSU). NSU is the city's dominant economic institution — its medical, dental, pharmacy, and law schools bring thousands of graduate students, faculty, and research staff to the area. This population creates a unique health insurance dynamic: full-time NSU employees likely have access to employer-sponsored benefits, but part-time staff, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and contractors may need to seek coverage on the ACA marketplace.
Beyond the university, Davie is home to a wide swath of suburban families — some in dual-income households with employer coverage, others self-employed or working in service industries that don't offer benefits. The equestrian community adds a layer of small business owners and self-employed residents for whom the ACA marketplace is often the only option for individual coverage.

Davie residents shop for ACA plans through the Broward County marketplace. In 2026, available carriers include Florida Blue, Ambetter from Sunshine Health, Molina Healthcare, Aetna CVS Health, Oscar Health, and UnitedHealthcare. Broward Health, Memorial Healthcare System, and Cleveland Clinic Florida are among the dominant health systems in the area. If you have a specific hospital or physician preference, confirm network participation before selecting a plan — HMO plans in Broward County may have narrower networks than PPO options.
NSU's on-campus health facilities serve primarily students and faculty but are not a substitute for comprehensive marketplace coverage. Students who age off a parent's plan at 26 have a Special Enrollment Period to shop for their own marketplace plan.
Health insurance in Davie
Broward County's ACA premiums are competitive with statewide averages. The benchmark Silver plan for a 40-year-old in Davie typically runs $410 to $450 per month before subsidies. Residents who qualify for premium tax credits can reduce this cost significantly, and those in the 100–250% FPL range may also qualify for Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSRs) that lower their deductible and out-of-pocket costs on Silver plans.
| Annual Income (Single Adult) | % of FPL (2026) | Subsidy Eligibility | Est. Monthly Cost (Silver) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below $15,060 | Below 100% | No subsidy — Florida Medicaid gap | Full premium (~$430) |
| $15,060 – $22,590 | 100–150% | Highest subsidy + Enhanced Silver CSRs | $0 – $25/month |
| $22,591 – $30,120 | 150–200% | Strong subsidy + Enhanced Silver CSRs | $25 – $70/month |
| $30,121 – $45,180 | 200–300% | Meaningful subsidy | $70 – $175/month |
| $45,181 – $60,240 | 300–400% | Moderate subsidy | $175 – $300/month |
| Above $60,240 | 400%+ | May qualify if premium > 8.5% of income | Varies |

Davie's economic mix means subsidy eligibility varies widely. Graduate students living on stipends, service-sector workers, and part-time employees are often in the income bands where ACA premium tax credits are most generous. Families with children should also check Florida KidCare (CHIP) eligibility — children in households that earn too much for Medicaid but not enough to easily afford private coverage may receive low-cost or free children's coverage through CHIP, regardless of whether the parents enroll in an ACA plan.
Self-employed residents — including equestrian business owners, freelancers, and independent contractors — can deduct their self-employed health insurance premiums from their federal income tax. This can make marketplace coverage more affordable on an after-tax basis than it initially appears.
