Rick Scott vetoes bill that would help poor Floridians get dental care

<snip>

"In spite of the unanimous support from Republicans and Democrats in the Florida Legislature, Gov. Rick Scott vetoed a measure that would have provided grants for dentists to open private practices in the state's medically underserved areas.

House Bill 139, sponsored by Rep. Travis Cummings, R-Orange Park, and Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, would create a program administered by the Florida Department of Health that would provide $10,000 to $100,000 rewards to dentists working in rural or low-income communities, the News Service of Florida reports. The grant money could have been used for repayment of dental school student loans; investment in property, facilities or equipment for the dental office; or expenses related to relocation or opening of a dental practice, according to the bill."
