So Rick Scott creates the bare-bones, “no such thing as climate change” government he wanted, and now he’s whining?
Amid warnings of a potential Zika “disaster” in Florida, Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday asked President Barack Obama for an extensive list of preparedness items from the federal government to fight the dreaded virus.
In a three-page letter to the President, Scott said some of the requested items were detailed in a May 12 meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, but have not been fulfilled.
“I cannot waste any time on disappointment. Florida needs action from the federal government now,” Scott wrote.
And then he mentions the real problem:
The governor also voiced unhappiness with inaction by the Republican-controlled Congress, which “has failed to act and they are now on vacation.”
Okay Governor her’s where to start: First, take the Medicaid expansion so poor people can access treatment; Second remove restrictions on abortion to allow women to terminate microcephalic embryos.
Zika may well be a disaster throughout the Confederate Bible Belt. No health care and potentially thousands of infants who will require lifelong 24 hour care.
