Florida's Medicaid program in limbo

Millions of uninsured Florida families and health care providers are in a purgatory of sorts. Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-led Legislature want to privatize the state's Medicaid program, but need the Obama administration's permission. The Obama administration wants to make more low-income Floridians eligible for Medicaid, but needs Scott and the Legislature to agree. The sides have been negotiating a package deal for more than a year and won't comment. "So many states are in a bit of a holding pattern until after the election," said Joan Alker, co-executive director of the Georgetown University research center.
