Compassionate Conservatism: Kidcare

I wrote yesterday about the Florida legislature making cuts in Agency for Persons with Disabilities. The Florida Senate will not make changes to make enrollment into KidCare easier.

CFO Alex Sink was on the Senate floor, looking to talk with senators about passing even the most noncontroversial parts of a recently negotiated KidCare package.

She and others are looking to simply pass some administrative language that would remove barriers to enrollment into KidCare.

Sink said she had a lot of good conversations, but "not with the people who count." Sink said Pruitt pretty much told her the issue is dead. She said she's not giving up yet, with two and a half more days left until the end of session.

KidCare is an issue that the Left should pound Pruit with. There are already 13,000 children on a waiting list and he tells Sink that he can't be bothered with it. What a fucking pathetic excuse of a civil servant.
