I talked to my Rep a few weeks ago and I got the feeling from him that this is DOA! He is a working MD and has keen insight on the issue. Rick Scott has done a lot for the State and has pissed of many Libs, especially teacher union folks. Scott is not stupid and I think he is playing good cop bad cop on this issue along with the $2500.00 increase for teachers.
I agree. Scott will get some hearts and flowers from the stste’s newspapers for advocating Medicaid expansion — which will be useful for his reelection prospects.
