Gillum: Medicare for All Won’t Work in Florida Alone, We’d Need ‘Confederation of States’

29 Aug 20188,178

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” Tallahassee Mayor and Florida Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum said that for Florida to do a Medicare for all system, “we would have to do it as a confederation of states. We could not do it by ourselves solely here in the state of Florida.”

Gillum stated, “Well, the budget deficit in this state is going to be largely driven by the great big tax giveaways that Republicans have pursued nearly every legislative session that I can remember. We know that the fastest growing part of the state’s budget is its healthcare costs. We also know that this governor failed to expand Medicaid for over 700,000 of the most medically needy people in this state, leaving $6 billion alone last year on the table, money that could have come from the federal government to help prop up that system, while here in the state of Florida we have a nursing shortage. … I think largely because we have failed to step up to that task.”

I couldn't agree more...and it will be an even greater disaster if Beto wins in TX.  These are the two states that the DEMS are hoping to turn blue.

They did it to CO.  Hopefully TX and FL can remain strong.

Can't have people avoiding FLA's single payer fiasco by seeking their healthcare in another state.

And pouring a lot of resources including Soros money.  It's a real shame he has so much of it.

By the way, I get sick of people confusing Medicare and Medicaid.
