The debate is not over. The healthcare laws are still questioned. Though it stands questionable that whether a state can block enforcement of a federal law, but it does not stop anybody from creating opposition. This is where republicans Bill McCollum and Rick Scott have started their campaign against the healthcare reforms.
McCollum, currently Florida's attorney general, is heading a multi-state legal challenge—the petition claims that the law declared is unconstitutional. Whereas, Scott, a former hospital executive who lives in Naples, spent more than $5 million of his own money fighting the legislation in Congress.
It is clear that the law will have a significant influence on any decisions made on health care by Florida's next governor. The impact will be considerable for Medicaid. The requirements of healthcare reforms about the Medicaid ask for coverage for anyone earning less than 133 percent of the federal poverty line. In Florida, the coverage is quite lower compared to this. Of course, it will be a major challenge for Florida to tackle this demand.
However, the law has still not been implemented and there are lots of possibilities that consumers can think about. The fingers are crossed and the result is eagerly awaited.
