In response to Governor Scott’s press event today on the opioid epidemic, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Spokesman David Bergstein released the following statement:
“After years of refusing to address the opioid epidemic and declare a state of emergency to handle the crisis, Floridians would rather Governor Scott spare them the photo op. The timing is particularly embarrassing given that his own toxic healthcare plan – which would spike costs and strip away coverage for drug abuse treatment programs all to give himself a big tax break – moves through Congress. Today is just another unfortunate reminder that Scott is only ever looking out for himself — while Florida’s families are paying the price.”
