We cats were hacking up hairballs yesterday when we heard Republican Rick Scott — known in some circles as Florida's first Martian governor — express total confidence on NPR that the Supreme Court would overturn the Affordable Care Act today.
Well, nanny nanny boo-boo to you, Mr. Former For-Profit Hospital Executive. You were wrong, wrong, wrong, and arrogant, arrogant, arrogant. Find a paper bag and wear it over your ugly head, quick.
In the meantime, though, we'd like to demand an accounting as to exactly where the State of Florida, which has nearly 4 million uninsured citizens, stands on implementing the ACA.
Oops! Wait — we think we know. As USA Today has reported, "Florida has rejected or declined to pursue more than $106 million [of federal implementation money] and has returned $4.5 million...The state has not implemented an [insurance] exchange that would meet the requirements of the federal law."
Ricky, we cats think you should stop harassing public hospitals and get to work on setting up those exchanges. After all, time's a wastin', and Justice John Roberts has spoken.
