Gov. Rick Scott breaks with Koch brothers over health care in Florida

[Tony_FLADEM]

Saw a headline the other day worth repeating.

Koch Brothers "Extremely Disappointed'' in Rick Scott After Obamacare Shift

By itself, the headline is not terribly gripping. It's the context that makes it interesting.

First of all, the net worth of each Koch brother is roughly equivalent to the stock portfolios of several million of your neighbors. So when Charles and David are disappointed, it's the same thing as saying Miami and Fort Lauderdale are peeved.

Beyond that, the Kochs are the omnipresent gurus of Scott's particular brand of conservatism. Think Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid, minus the car wax.

1. The only reason he may be tinkering with the ACA

is because he is figuring out a way to rig tax payer money into his pocket. He made millions defrauding Medicare.

For FL, it might be better for people that the Federal Govt create pools and regulate the system. I'm afraid of how they will rig the system for their favor... And their is no hope for his re-election... No one likes him.

2. and when the waltons are upset, it's like saying the 25th-biggest economy in

the world is upset...
