It is appalling that President Obama would cut off federal health care dollars to Florida in an effort to force our state further into Obamacare.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Florida is not going to implement Obamacare. We are not going to expand Medicaid, and we're not going to implement exchanges.
I'm very, very concerned ultimately, as Medicaid costs increase in my state and most states, it's going to reduce funding for state aid to our public schools, to our higher education institution or higher taxes on the middle class that President Obama said he didn't want to do. And that's exactly where he's headed.
If 'Obama-care' becomes fully implemented in 2014, it's going to bankrupt states.
Some said he couldn't take on the insurance companies that were ripping us off. But President Obama made the tough and right call to save lives, save Medicare and ensure no one goes broke just because they get sick.
Fewer jobs, at lower pay. That's what Obamacare means.
The President didn't offer any clarity in his latest speech about what he would do to tackle our nation's debt before it tackles us and it's still not clear how he'll keep Medicare from going bankrupt. One thing is clear though, Barack Obama isn't interested in governing or putting forward solutions to fix our nation's problems.
What Obamacare does is decreases choices and drives up cost.
We need to be careful when we talk about cutting health care costs. They are not going to be reduced - what we really want to do is do is slow the rate of increase.
Republicans should embrace the possibility that Obamacare could pave the way toward lower health care entitlement spending overall. That won't be easy. But it's not unthinkable, either.
I'm glad that Gov. Scott down in Florida accepted ObamaCare, because it will work.
