Floridians went some of that good stuff

Our beloved governor Rick Scott (AKA Boneman) and the Republican legislators don't want it, but the people do. Broward County -second most populated county in Florida -even says it will defy the government and allow ACA navigators to set up shop in the county , an in-your-face to the powers that be.

"Despite Florida Republicans pretty much doing everything within their power to derail Obamacare,
more than 440,000 Florida residents have already enrolled Affordable Care Act through the federal marketplace website"
