Rick Scott Pays Just $360 A Year For State Health Insurance

The governor, a proud bearer of the Republican Party’s deregulation standard,
has spent his first half-year in office decrying government waste:
He’s laid off thousands of Sunshine State employees, slashed their benefits, turned down (most of) the federal government’s health care dollars, and put extra financial pressure on Florida retirees and Medicaid recipients.
But Scott and his dependents pay one-fifth what a janitor in the state Capitol pays for health insurance… and less than 3 percent of what a retired state trooper pays for life-saving coverage.
