Sadly, most of the people in these jobs make so little that they could have qualified for Medicaid if the Florida Legislature had not refused to accept the expansion, which would have covered almost one million uninsured Floridians.
So now, that 51 billion of federal dollars, earmarked for Florida, will go to other states to expand their Medicaid programs in the next ten years, while the legislators that rejected this money continue to pay $8 per month for their health insurance (or $30 per month for their entire family).
