If both chambers are opposed to the idea how are the House and Senate divided ?
I know. I read that and it is contradictive.

In letters to agencies, Scott laid the blame for a potential shutdown on the Senate, which has insisted on a modified Medicaid expansion and state support to hospitals facing the loss of federal money to care for the poor as pre-conditions to budget talks. Scott on Thursday called both health care issues “controversial and divisive.”
“It is possible that Florida Senate President Andy Gardiner and the Florida Senate will not agree to any budget without the specific expansion of Medicaid (at a cost to state taxpayers of $5 billion over 10 years),” Scott wrote. “Therefore, we are requesting your agency prepare a list of critical state services our citizens cannot lose in the event Florida is forced into a government shutdown on July 1st.”
The Fl. House is opposed to it. But I believe the fat cat RINOs in the FL Senate love Obama so much, they’ll do anything for him. This can’t be good for the members of the FL House. If they support the expansion, they’ll be gone. So the republicans in the FL Senate are playing the part of the democrats.
