Have you applied for SSI for her? I assume this would give her straight Medicaid in Fla which would pay for the medications.

Have you tried your local Fla congressperson? Sounds like the state legislature enacted something that seriously impacts families. Your congressperson voted for this- what is their suggestion? Is this their understanding of the new law and how do they expect families to manage?
Call their office and ask.

Go to your local social services office and ask them for advice. If nothing else they will have a list of charities that will buy medications for your child.

Go to needymeds.com and look up each of your child's medications. Call the manufacturer of each and ask if you can get her medications free/ cheaper under their plan.
