Florida’s Senate Minority Leader Asks Feds To Reject Rick Scott’s Medicaid Reforms | Earlier this month, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed “a landmark Medicaid overhaul” that will put “hundreds of thousands of low-income and elderly Floridians into managed-care plans.” The law still has to be approved by the federal government, and yesterday Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich (D) wrote a letter to HHS Secretary Sebelius arguing that smaller pilot programs run by the state “has simply not worked in Florida,’’ and urged the feds to reject Scott’s reforms.
