Bill Nelson says
Rick Scott to blame for ‘Florida health care crisis’
Florida Democratic
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson sat with a room full of public health officials Tuesday
morning who declared that Florida is suffering through a crisis of health-care
access and he put the blame squarely on his Republican
rival in this year’s election, Gov. Rick Scott.
Sitting down with
public health and mental health services advocates,
he pointed
Florida accepting
the federal offer of $5 billion a year to expand Medicaid to serve people who
did not qualify for Medicaid and were too poor to afford health insurance.
Scott and the Florida Legislative leaders raised concerns that the long-term costs to Florida might be too high.

Thirty-one other
states accepted the Medicaid expansion program,
while Florida continues to
pass.
“Why didn’t they do
it?
Well,
I’ll tell you exactly why. It was Gov. Scott,” Nelson said.
