Miami-Dade County, Blue Cross team up on health plan

Offering what its creators believe could be a model for affordable health insurance nationwide, a unique public-private partnership is aimed at helping the estimated 600,000 uninsured in Miami-Dade County (FL). Called Miami-Dade Blue, the county worked with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida to develop a plan that would cost a healthy 35-year-old male about $100 a month.
