The governor of Florida Rick Scott has refused millions of federal funding dollars connected to health-care because he was ideologically against the Affordable Care Act. But once the Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional, the governor made statements making it appear that he supported the ACA. Under federal law Floridians were eligible for $51 billion worth of federal aid to expand health coverage under the Medicaid program.

By failing to expand Medicaid coverage, these elected officials have made sure that 1 million uninsured Floridian will miss out on health coverage.
