On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” Tallahassee Mayor and Florida Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum said that for Florida to do a Medicare for all system, “we would have to do it as a confederation of states. We could not do it by ourselves solely here in the state of Florida.”
Gillum stated, “Well, the budget deficit in this state is going to be largely driven by the great big tax giveaways that Republicans have pursued nearly every legislative session that I can remember. We know that the fastest growing part of the state’s budget is its healthcare costs. We also know that this governor failed to expand Medicaid for over 700,000 of the most medically needy people in this state, leaving $6 billion alone last year on the table, money that could have come from the federal government to help prop up that system, while here in the state of Florida we have a nursing shortage. … I think largely because we have failed to step up to that task.”
He added, “I think for Florida to move in that direction, we would have to do it as a confederation of states.

DEMOCRAT CALLS FOR REVIVING CONFEDERACY! IS SLAVERY NEXT?
But they're not even-handed. They'll only go after DeSantis for his stupid monkeying remark, when they all knew what he meant.
Nothing to do with the massive welfare system including payments to illegals then.
We tried that before but we lost!
“Confederation”?
(gasp!) He’s dog-whistling the whites!
Can you imagine the outrage and hysteria if a white Republican used the word ‘confederation’? OMG, it would be the end of the world.
Medicare for All AKA Single Payer Healthcare. Think NHS in England where there are shortages of doctors, shortages of bed spaces, very long wait for scheduled surgeries, long ER waits etc.
He’s monkeying around with the Confederacy!
I got to meet this guy!
Gillum stated, “Well, the budget deficit in this state is going to be largely driven by the great big tax giveaways
LIE. Deficits are caused by spending. Not be allowing workers to keep more of their own money. You don’t spend more then you have you do not have a deficit. Period!
The South shall rise again! Total Maya Angelou poem.
Did somebody say confederate, is a democrat, and is black? Wants to bring back the confederacy of slavery. How kinky.
If states want single payer then let them....it’s not up to the feds....if they want to be a poor state then so be it.
“great big tax giveaways”
Because the money you earn all belongs to The State. The kind benevolent State generously lets you keep a portion of their money which you have earned, but if you try to keep even one nickel more it’s a “tax giveaway” and you are “looting the treasury”.
I’m surprised Gillum keeps talking about his Socialist idiocy. I figured he would just run entirely on identity politics and hope no one noticed the Marxism.

THIS time, they intend to be the masters.
Translation: "It's more than we want to pay for, so we want other people's money."
The call for confederation is a dog whistle calling for Jim Crow. In this case, confederation is another word for socialist fascism.
A rest stop?/sarc
This guy doesn’t realize that the confederation would want Medicare for all too, not just for Florida.
This guy is monkeying around with other people’s money... a task that should always be handled niggardly.
He is calling for the Confederacy? The South shall rise again!

DR. HFUHRUHURR: (grimaces)
DR. FRAN THE PROSTITUTE: What is it? My voice? Did I blow the deal? I knew I shouldn't talk until I make the deal. I know my voice is terrible. It irritates people so much, they usually just want to kill me.
DR. HFUHRUHURR: Keep talking. Keep talking.
