Florida has over 4 million uninsured and almost one quarter of those are children. Over the last decade, the average premium of Florida families increased by 88%, and the average annual family premiums for workers at small firms increased by 123%.
Floridians already pay a hidden tax of $1400/year on premiums to cover the cost of the uninsured. On top of all of this, Florida has rejected over $50 million in our tax payer money that would help a lot of families. Florida does not have money to burn. Please sign the petition telling Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature as much.
Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature, we demand you stop blocking the Affordable Care Act by rejecting federal money for political reasons rather than helping Floridians like us.

How is it that we, the citizens of Florida, have elected you and provided you with the best health care, but you have rejected us health care? Don’t be a hypocrite! Allow Obamacare!

If you don’t want us to have health care, then you can’t have healthcare that the citizens are providing for you.

Seriously? Just….I mean…seriously? I cannot believe we even have to have a damn petition for this. Rick Scott, you have made me hate my state. Florida Legislature – get off your asses and do something that makes sense for once.

There is NO reason why people should die or lose their homes for lack of health insurance in the U.S., but this is happening. Support the Affordable Care Act. It may not be perfect, it may need adjustments in the future, but it is what we have for now and this is an urgent issue. Please act NOW. Accept the funds allotted to Florida so that we can move forward instead of backing up.
