Rick Scott Ad Bashes Obama for Cutting Medicare to Fund Obamacare

Gov. Rick Scott came to political prominence in 2009 by opposing President Barack Obamas federal health-care law. Scott is going back to that theme in a new web video ad released on Tuesday.

In the new video, Scott calls Obamas proposal to take funds from Medicare Advantage to fund the health care law wrong for Florida seniors. Scott and Obama met at the White House on Monday and discussed the matter.

"Seniors retire based on a belief that they have a healthcare system that's going to be there," said Scott. "We already know that 300,000 people in our state were told they were going to lose their insurance. But now, under Medicare, we're seeing these dramatic rate cuts.

"These Medicare cuts that the President's caused are the wrong thing for Florida seniors," added Scott.
