U.S. Congressman Slams Legislature
June 19th, 2015 by flanewsFlorida Congressman Patrick Murphy was in Tallahassee on the day lawmakers are expected to pass a budget to scold the legislature for not passing Medicaid expansion.
Surrounded by state democrats, Murphy cited a pending Supreme Court ruling that could impact many Floridians currently on Obamacare.
“Floridians pay a certain amount of taxes and these taxes are now going to every other state and not coming back here to hardworking Floridians paying these taxes. And in doing so, we have left 4 billion dollars on the table as Floridians,” he said.
The disagreement over expanding Medicaid in the state forced lawmakers to go into a special session. It was ultimately shot down by the Florida House.
