Florida GOP Is Costing Us $50 billion

The U.S. government wanted to give Florida $50 billion in taxpayer money

Money you paid into the system through
income taxes

To provide Medicaid to roughly 1 million Floridians who would otherwise go uncovered.

There was zero cost to the state for 10 years, after which we would have to kick in 10 percent.

Instead, Scott and the GOP blocked expansion and turned away the money, not because it was best for Florida, but because it was best for the GOP. Republican state legislators said no to free health care for 1 million Floridians, costing all of us taxpayer money in the end, as well as the associated jobs that would have been created.

And most importantly to most of us, costing lives.

Medical Tourism In Florida

The Florida Legislature
is poised to expand health care

Not for Floridians, for tourists.

We’re not joking. A bill to spend Florida tax dollars to promote medical tourism is flying though the legislature. Yet, the Republican leadership won’t allow a single hearing on
using billions in federal tax dollars to expand
health care

to 1.1 million uninsured Floridians.
