Charlie Crist: 'Six People In Florida Die Every Day' Because Of Rick Scott's Stance On Medicaid

&quot Scott) said he was for it, Medicaid expansion, for about 30 seconds. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not much," Crist said on MSNBC's "Daily Rundown." "Didn't lift a finger to get it passed."

"What are the results? About a million of my fellow Floridians are not getting health care today, and I am told by friends at SIEU (sic) that means that six people in Florida die every day as a result of that. Every day," Crist continued.

Mary Burke, what have you to say?

Burke wouldn't say whether Walker was wrong to rely on the federal exchange instead of having Wisconsin create its own.

"It's important to make sure that we are opening up and providing the health care options that the people of Wisconsin need," she said. "I would certainly look more closely at which would have been better for the people of Wisconsin."




What a candidate!

The proper line is this:

"Your Republican governor and legislature killed six citizens in our state today, flat murdered them, and meant to do it. They're going to murder six more tomorrow, and six more the day after that, and they mean to keep on murdering them so long as they are in office and can do it. Every morning they wake up meaning to murder six of your neighbors, and every evening they go to bed knowing they've murdered six more people, and feeling pretty damn good and pleased with themselves about it. Until you get out and stop them, at the polls, these murderers will keep it up, six more every day, killed, with deliberate malice and cold intent: that's what your Republican governor and legislators are doing today, and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...."
