					<description><![CDATA[The rate of Floridians without health insurance dropped to 16.6 percent last year. Figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that represents a drop of 3.4 percentage points from a rate of 20 percent in 2013. Despite the drop, Florida still had the third highest rate of residents without health insurance. Only Texas and Alaska had higher rates. The national rate was 10.4 percent. Officials attribute the decrease in Florida and around the country to passage of the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida news flash: Gov. Rick Scott is a double flip-flopper. While that in itself may not be surprising to some, this time it is significant why he reversed course – Medicaid expansion for healthcare to nearly one million low-income and uninsured Floridians. Now, like Marie Antoinette, he tells the poor to “eat cake,” in Bill Day’s latest. That’s putting it nicely. Others see it as something else: Scott simply cannot be trusted to keep his word. He lied.
