A political fight over health care has been unfolding in Florida, unusual in that it pits Republican Governor Rick Scott against some members of his own party, according to The Huffington Post ("Rick Scott Snd Florida Republicans Are Throwing An Anti-Obamacare Tantrum"). It is also revealing, as it "lays bare the motives of the Affordable Care Act's most determined detractors," the article states.
While more than half of the states have expanded Medicaid, Florida has been one of the holdouts. Gov. Scott has changed position on the expansion, depending on the political climate of the moment, the Huffington article states.

Andy Marlette on FL's 'Gangsta' Governor
Do you have a less-than-favorable opinion of Florida's Governor Rick Scott? Then you might want to read an opinion piece by Andy Marlene, of the Pensacola News Journal ("Marlette: The Gov. has gone 'gangsta'"). In his column, he likens legislators, lobbyists "and a bald-headed governor" to money changers, livestock and Herod.
In his piece, Marlette mentions "the ever-insightful Tampa Bay Times columnist John Romano," quoting him on Gov. Scott's likening the Obama Administration to "The Sopranos."
