Republican Governors with Compassion

Well, its no surprise there are many more uninsured in Florida and Texas than NY and Ca. Republican states did not accept the federal money to extend medicaid's upper limit to match with the lower income level for Obamacare. Of course it means more suffering and deaths for those without insurance in those states. I do not understand why the governors of Texas and Florida did not accept money that would have made the life of their poor people better? Is there some reason besides lack of compassion?
Florida's Rick Scott is the big loser on this front, with 21 percent of his constituents uninsured. He's already rejected the expansion, even though more than a fifth of his state's population. Actually, we should say, the poor people in Florida are the big losers, but who in America cares about them? Why do they need medical insurance?
