Pink Slip Rick Scott

Ed Schultz spotlights the "Pink Slip Rick Scott" movement and the fact the man who hates public health care has a $30.00 per month public health care plan.

Scott pays only $30 per month for taxpayer-subsidized health insurance for himself and his family, the Miami Herald reported. Meanwhile, the janitors who clean his office in the state Capitol pay six times as much out of pocket for their own health coverage.

Scott accepts no salary as state executive, but a perk of his — and 32,000 other high-ranking state officials — job is the option to enroll in the cheap insurance plan. Individual insurance for these top-tier officials costs only $8.34 per month. Nearly all of the state's 160 legislators are enrolled in the plan as well.

Don't be too hard on Scott. He is only worth $103 million.

Pink Slip Rick Scott Ad on Mike Haridopolos

Pink Slip Rick Scott runs on ad on Mike Haridopolos. The ad implies that Haridopolos is Scott's puppet. I thought that was Attorney General Pam Bondi's job description.

The people behind Pink Slip Rick Scott will be speaking to the media.

On Friday July 1st, Pink Slip Rick will be speaking at the 2011 Florida Society of Newspapers and Florida Press Association Annual Convention at the Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg.

This also marks the day that many of the job-killing, anti-middle class bills Pink Slip Rick signed will go into effect:

the Job-Killing Budget (SB 2000)
the Government Intrusion in Women's Health Bill (SB 1744)
the Big Insurance Profit Protection Bill (SB 1972)
the Developer Giveaways Bill (SB 2156)
and the De-Fund Public School Bill (SB 1388)

Join us at the Vinoy Resort between 12:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon with your placards and t-shirts and let the Governor know what we think about his job performance. We will have extra signs if needed.

The more activists the better impression it makes on the media.
