Despite constant Republican obstructionism, a Governor from Mars beholden to Big Insurance with an IQ of 10, and a legislature intent on killing the poor of the state, Obamacare signups in the state that refused to work with the President are breaking records.
Just think what it would have been like if Rick Scott had supported it and accepted federal funds?
Of particular note: Florida "has emerged as a tale of what went right with President Barack Obama's health care overhaul,"

More than 440,000 Florida residents had been enrolled through the federal marketplace through the end of February, putting Florida on pace to exceed the federal government's initial projections by the time enrollment closes March 31.
The numbers are impressive for a state where Republicans control the governor's mansion and both houses of the Legislature. By comparison, Republican-leaning Texas has enrolled 295,000 through the federal site, even though its population is about a third larger than Florida's.
Florida's success is due partly to infrastructure created in the swing state by Democratic-affiliated groups during the last three presidential elections, along with continued investment by the Obama administration and nonprofit advocacy groups in the diverse state that will likely be competitive in November's midterm election.
