The sneaky lie that left 750,000 Floridians without health insurance
John Romano, Tampa Bay Times, 4/25/14 (in print on 4/26)

"If we're going to say "no' to Medicaid expansion, let's say "yes' to something,'' Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, said more than a year ago.

"There's a desire to do the right thing and try to find a way to provide a safety net for this population that works,'' Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Land O'Lakes, said around the same time. "There's all kinds of things we can look at.''

"We will stand up to their inflexible plan and we'll work on our own solution, one that better reflects the needs and priorities of our state,'' Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, said in a speech some 13 months ago.

Yet the House and Senate made it through the entire 2013 legislative session without a solution. And with the 2014 session soon to end, they'll be on a two-year useless streak.
