Why wonât Gov. Ron DeSantis take the money? Why wonât he take it already?
No, weâre not talking about the estimated $10.2 billion in federal stimulus money that Florida is expected to receive from President Joe Bidenâs recently passed $1.9 trillion COVID relief package.
Oh, no, donât worry about that: DeSantis is so ready to snap up those bucks that heâs already recommended spending it on a broad range of priorities.
No, the federal money that Florida has yet to take â because DeSantis is slavishly trudging in the shortsighted footsteps of his immediate predecessor, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, in refusing to accept them â are the billions of dollars that would flow into our stateâs Medicaid program by simply expanding coverage to more uninsured Floridians.
