Flash Mob Invades Gov’s Office

February 8th, 2012 by flanews

A planned flash mob stormed Governor Rick Scott’s office today… take a look.

The group Rick Makes Me Sick is made up of liberals and health care workers who say cuts to Florida’s Medicaid program will hurt all Floridians. Victor Sanchez traveled from Orlando to sing off-key in the governor’s office, so his message could be heard.

“We are worried about health care. We don’t want Rick Scott to privatize Medicaid, that’s what he wants to do. So we are here this morning to deliver a simple message that we are sick of him. We don’t want him to privatize any Medicaid,” said Sanchez.

Scott’s budget recommends cutting nearly 400 million state dollars from Medicaid, but it boosts education spending by a billion dollars. The group wants to see both health care and education funded at higher levels.
