Every Dem in Alex Sink's district who just stayed home should hang their heads in shame, because we should be voting in every election to prevent this very travesty from happening.

RIP this lovely women and blessings on her family and friends.

The Fl legislature pays $8 per month for their health insurance but they don't believe Charlene and people like her are worthy of health insurance because they don't work hard enough, or look right, or make enough money or live in the right neighborhoods - or something.

FL House Speaker Will Weatherford married into his job so apparently he earned his $8 monthly high quality health care. Senate president Gaetz is a multi -millionaire so apparently he earned his $8 monthly health care. Guess Charlene and her kids just don't rate in Florida.

The truly frustrating thing is how many Floridians in similar dire circumstances will vote R in November
