An angry young woman at Starbucks yells and complains to Rick Scott that "you cut Medicaid so I couldn't get Obamacare".
I assume she is unemployed or has a low wage/parttime job and is just using the free wi-fi at Starbucks as she has no drink.
Am I missing something? Even without Medicaid can't she get a private & subsidized (free to her) Blue Cross policy through healthcare.gov?
Someone else is always to blame for the problems of the unmotivated. Remember when people took responsibility for thier own actions? That was pre-liberalism, when most citizens did not feel entitled to everything "free" from the feds.
I never was on Medicaid, but most people in FL know Scott is a crook, so I was surprised when he was first elected in 2010. I voted twice to keep him out of the governor's mansion. Good for her.

I don't know where you live, but when I moved to FL I was shocked by the low wages and the number of companies with no benefits. Maybe this woman wasn't looking for free anything, only the chance to take care of her family while she gets a better education or works 2 minimum wage jobs. Of course, both of us don't know what her situation is, but he has consistently proposed bills to violate the rights of the working class. He closed polling locations and cut the number of early voting days in 2012 before the national election. His drug testing policy for anyone receiving state assistance was shut down by a Federal judge for violating Constitutional rights.

I don't know why a photo ID is a problem for some people (since I believe in showing ID) but Scott and his people have attempted to violate Constitutional rights since he took office.

Yes on both. So true.
It's incomprehensible that Florida went for an overt ********* like Scott, not once, but twice. Insane
Scott's political agenda will make sure Florida is the butt of all COPS episodes for a long time.
So the governor is personally responsible for all of the economic woes of florida?
