Some straightforward news reporting, such as this, from Politico, can't be improved on by commentary:
In 2008, while Democrats were declaring that the time was right for national health care reform, Marco Rubio, the speaker of the Florida House, had a ready response: Florida should build a market-based system that would help contain the cost of insurance and make it more available.
Rubio pushed his no-mandate health insurance exchange, dubbed Florida Health Choices, through the state Legislature that year. "It’s about competition, it’s about choice, and it’s about the marketplace," he told The Palm Beach Post at the time.
Florida Health Choices, which finally opened last year, now covers 80 people.
Obamacare, which Rubio wants to repeal, covers 1.6 million in Florida alone. And 93 percent of them are subsidized.
