This is what Florida wants and at this point its hard to feel sorry for it.
Florida is one of them. Childless adults in the Sunshine State can’t get Medicaid unless they fall into a special eligibility category, like having a disability. And even adults with kids have a hard time getting onto the program because the standard income guidelines are so low ― about 30% of the poverty line, which last year worked out to less than $7,000 for a family of three. That’s not enough to cover rent, food and other essentials, let alone buy a health insurance policy.

I knew it was bad but not that bad. Holy fuck. >

Florida is one of 11 states that refuse to expand Medicaid for the working poor (Obamacare).  Yup - all of those people vote against their own self interest.  Fucking morons >

Florida man loses heath care after voting for DeSantis. >

Rubelican plan is working.  Helping their voters die. >

Keep everyone angry, ignorant, poor, and desperate. Sounds like everything is going according to plan. >

DeSantis wants Floridians to stay “asleep” even if it means forever. >

A reminder that Florida is the state that sent Rep. Alan Grayson to the US Congress. 

If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly. That's right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick. >

As long as he gets to deny healthcare to transgender kids, he doesn't give a shit what happens with anyone else's. >

The point is to cause pain to everyone who is not a rich, white, Christian male. The more pain, the better. That's who his base is, that's what the people of Florida want, at least the majority of them. The infliction of pain against people who are not like them.
The culture and morals of the whole state will have to change to correct course.  I don't see it happening within my lifetime. >

Isn't that part of the point of culture wars? To distract people from the realization that they're being taken for a ride? >

Losing health care to own the libs. >

Not unexpected in a State governed with scientific ignorance, and religious bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and racism. >

And their Homeowners Insurance.... >

And housing insurance >

How else is he going to pay for the tax cuts that virtually all went to very wealthy people?!
Sheesh...

There’s no way to be sure how an issue will play out in the next election ― or whether it will even matter at all. But it’s not hard to imagine the contrast on health care working to the Democrats’ advantage. The Affordable Care Act is relatively popular these days, and Medicaid expansion tends to poll well even among Republican voters. 

I really hope it makes a difference during the next electoral cycle >

When the state Surgeon General doesn't believe in medicine, you know what to expect >

Precisely why DeSantis appointed him (Ladapo.) DeSantis needs compliant lackeys who aren’t too smart so he can dictate health policy himself, tell teachers what to teach, etc. >

For those that call DeSantis more competent than Trump: the man has shown little inclination to use his smarts for anything but grabbing power and punishing his perceived enemies. If anything, he has proven even less interested than Trump to actually govern in a meaningful way and more dangerous and corrupt >

One of the reasons I moved away from Florida after a decade. Health care was stupidly hard to get as a poor person. They've made it really hard on low income people there. >

It's not 'hard' it is that it doesn't exist.
Florida is one of 11 states that STILL refuse to expand Medicaid for the working poor.  But good thing those people vote for Republicans to 'own the libs'.
Never met a bigger group of idiots who vote against their own self interest >

I never voted for Republicans when I lived there. Unfortunately, the bigger issue I saw in Florida was many low income people were so preoccupied with the difficulty of life that they simply do not vote. Those voter ID laws partly seem to cultivate a culture of not voting amongst the poor. A lot of the people who are old and retired which makes up a huge chunk of their population are the ones voting for these assholes. I mean I imagine there are some poor people voting against their interest there as in every state but frankly the ones I met simply didn't vote at all. >

That’s the point. get his ignorant supports all worked up on culture war issues so they can gut education,healthcare, any sort of social benefits under the radar and under the guise of fighting wokeness >

DeSantis and Florida = let them die stupid. >

They’ll figure it out sooner or later.  You get what you vote for!  Good Luck Florida! >

Culture wars are all Republicans have. >

Watch my left hand while I rob you with my right! >

Floridians want this they vote for that guy and will vote for him again and again if they are not dead before next election
