A bill that could increase enrollment in health care sharing ministries was passed by the Florida House and is headed to Gov. Rick Scott.

The House passed the measure (SB 660) by an 89-27 vote, with opposition coming from Democrats who expressed concerns that the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation doesn't regulate the sharing arrangements. The Senate voted unanimously to pass the bill earlier in the session.

Health care sharing ministries have been exempt from Florida's insurance code since 2008 and limit participation to people who share the same religious beliefs. The bill would broaden current law to include people with the same set of ethical or religious beliefs.
