Statement by House Speaker Will Weatherford Regarding Governor Scott’s Decision on Expanding Medicaid
Tallahassee, FL – Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel) today released the following statement regarding Governor Scott’s decision on expanding Medicaid.
“Governor Scott has made his decision and I certainly respect his thoughts. However, the Florida Legislature will make the ultimate decision. I am personally skeptical that this inflexible law will improve the quality of healthcare in our state and ensure our long-term financial stability.
The House of Representatives has a bipartisan select committee that is currently meeting regularly on this issue. I look forward to the recommendations that our select committee will bring forth in the next few weeks. I am confident that our actions will be based on principle and rooted in facts.”
