[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash: DeSantis doesn't GAF about New College. He wants to be President and he thinks this stunt will help. Sadly, he's probably right.[/quote]

Yep, it’s all political theater from this Yale-Harvard elitist graduate who now masquerades as someone who cares about common folk.

Just like Trump, he’s able to trick the uneducated electorate into voting against their own interests.  None of DeSantis’ supporters will actually benefit in any way from this New College stunt.[/quote]

And who, exactly, is "voting against their own interests"?  Be specific.  Because your interests are most definitely not going to be mine.

Again - this isn't a "stunt."  It's a governor carrying out his duties, just like other governors.  Deal with it.[/quote]

Just one example—seniors who vote for DeSantis when he blocks efforts to lower prescription costs and cuts support for nursing homes.  Again, just one example but there are plenty more.  Who exactly has DeSantis helped and improved life for while serving as Governor?[/quote]

Liar, liar pants on fire, gnashing of teeth

Re : nursing homes 
The current law requires that certified nursing assistants and licensed nurses provide a weekly average of 3.6 hours of direct care per patient per day. The bill would keep that 3.6-hour average, but it would allow time spent by other types of workers, such as physical therapists and occupational therapists, to be factored into the calculation.

And today re:  prescription costs and pharmacy benefit managers

Also, DeSantis and state lawmakers in 2019 approved a plan to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada for government programs such as Medicaid, prisons and facilities run by the Department of Children and Families.
As of early Thursday afternoon, detailed legislation had not been filed. But DeSantis said the proposal will include:

Preventing what DeSantis called “spread pricing,” which involves PBMs keeping the difference between what they are paid by health plans and what they pay to pharmacies.
Preventing a practice known as “clawbacks” by PBMs that can reduce money for pharmacies.
Barring PBMs from mandating that consumers use certain mail-order pharmacies.

Thank you. We love Florida![/quote]
I heard so many stories of travelers who did stints in FL during Covid. They pay nurses crap, Covid was out of control.  You just want to hear one side of the story. [/quote]
