Republicans remain divided over subsidy plans, risking premium hikes for millions and possible loss of insurance for 1.6 million people, Florida advocates warn.

- For many residents, about 4.7 million Floridians on Obamacare face tough choices, as Scott Darius warned, and some describe the situation as insane, illustrating personal strain.
