Welcome to

The sponsor of legislation giving consumers more options in the state run insurance pool that was vetoed by Governor Rick Scott isn’t saying whether the legislature will attempt to override the Governor’s veto. Rep. Michael Bileca does say the Governors’ office is willing to talk about the plan during the next session.

“It was a good bill. We think it created more competition because it gave consumers more choice and it created transparency ion the market place. The Governor didn’t think so, but I actually think it created a healthier marketplace, not a less competitive  marketplace” says Bileca.

The legislature would lose its ability to override the veto the after the next time it meets, now scheduled for January.
