Patients with 3 health insurance plans lose access to Miami health network
The University of Miami Health System announced it will no longer accept three Medicare Advantage plans next year, requiring patients to find new insurance coverage or doctors to get in-network care. As thousands of people in South Florida review their health insurance plans during open enrollment, UHealth says Aetna, Preferred Care Network and Solis Health Plans are going away. The coverage allowing patients to be treated in-network by UHealth doctors and at the system’s facilities will end after Dec. 31, UHealth said in a statement to the Miami Herald. UHealth patients who are affected either need to sign up with new plans accepted by the system or find new doctors and hospitals. UHealth has added two Medicare Advantage plans — HealthSun and Simply Healthcare Plans — that will join the network Jan. 1, 2027. Both plans will include access to UHealth primary care doctors. “We have notified all of our impacted patients about this change, giving them the opportunity during open enrollment to select an insurance plan that includes UHealth,” the system said in a statement to the Miami Herald, which added that the insurance companies dropped the health system.

A developer promised Miami a new fire station and park. What went wrong? | Opinion
It was sold as a great deal for Miami: A developer would build a Mercedes-Benz-branded skyscraper partially on taxpayer-owned land that housed a fire station in Brickell. In exchange, the city would get public benefits, including an improved park and cash payments. The primary benefit: a new, $8 million fire station. A 2020 agreement between the city and the developer — a subsidiary of JDS Development Group — stated the mixed-use project would create “state of the art... transit-oriented urban development” with “much needed retail uses and amenities.” The development is planned to go next to Southside Park, across from the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations and the Underline. That vision may still come true. But, for now, construction of the 800-unit Mercedes-Benz Places has mostly stalled as the developer faces financing complications. The fire station on Southwest Second Avenue has been demolished and moved to four, on-site trailers provided by the developer in one of Miami’s busiest and most flood-prone neighborhoods. The promised station at the base of the project has not yet been constructed. Miami has yet to see the payoff from this deal, and current city leaders are angry they inherited it from a previous administration. Mayor
