Costly healthcare

A Feb. 6 article Stop using our phrase, little known insurance exchange says reports that “Nearly 1.3 million Floridians so far have signed up using the federal exchange, while fewer than 100 customers have enrolled through the state’s lesser-known marketplace, Florida Health Choices.”

With Gov. Rick Scott turning down Obamacare, I wonder how many residents’ tax dollars were spent on Florida Health Choices to sign up only 100 customers. It must be a lot per person.
