Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday that he stands by his decision that Florida will not carry out certain parts of the new health care reform, despite President Barack Obama’s re-election, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Scott says Obamacare will be too expensive and will raise costs for Florida businesses.
This summer, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act, Scott said he wouldn’t implement two provisions of the law, including the expansion of Medicaid and the creation of a private insurance exchange.
The new health care law will take full effect in January 2014.
