Campaign Promise Broken:
Rick Scott Turns His Back On Medicaid Expansion
Poor, sick folks get ready for the fallout...
Gov. Rick Scott
(R) has AGAIN re-
versed his stance on
expanding Medicaid
under ObamaCare,
which would use bil-
lions of federal dol-
lars to extend coverage to about 800,000 Floridians.
For the first time Monday, Scott turned his back on a Medi- caid expansion plan that was re- cently proposed by Florida’s GOP-controlled Senate, but had been rejected by its GOP-con- trolled House.
The governor said he withdrew support for the expansion out of distrust for the federal govern- ment. He pointed to frustration that the government said it will no longer reimburse Florida hospitals “to the level it is funded today” to treat low-income patients who can’t pay their bills, Scott wrote in a statement.
The debate over Medicaid and LIP has intensified during the final weeks of the state’s annual budget-drawing process. State health officials had been deep in negotiations with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) of- ficials, though those talks halted around the recent holiday.
The governor’s opposition to a Medicaid deal is his second posi- tion change in three years.
Two years ago, Scott wrote in an op-ed that Medicaid expansion was “bad for states” because “we don't need the federal government telling us what to do when it comes to meeting the needs of the citizens of our states.”
But in February 2013, Scott said he backs an expansion of Medicaid, at least for the first three years.
“I’m not going to stand in the way of the federal government doing something,” he told the Miami Herald last month. He re- iterated his stance throughout the fall 2014 elections, when his chal- lenger, former Gov. Charlie Crist, said he backed Medicaid expansion.
Over the last several weeks, as both chambers debated Medicaid expansion, Scott was cautious not to reveal his position.

IN MEMORIAM
ROWE TAYLOR, JR. 2/28/39 - 4/12/08
Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cher- ished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in our hearts.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.
You are forever missed and greatly loved by: your wife, Carolyn: children, Sabrina, Gregory, Dephanie, Remeka and Shonticia; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and other family members and many friends.
