UPDATE 1-Florida governor fights Obama administration over healthcare funding

Florida Governor Rick Scott said on Thursday he would sue to stop U.S. health leaders from ending more than $1 billion in federal funding for low-income patients, arguing it stemmed from the state's refusal to expand Obamacare for the working poor. The dispute between Florida's Republican leaders and President Barack Obama's administration is entangled in Florida's rejection, so far, of about $51 billion available over 10 years to expand Medicaid coverage to some 1 million Floridians under the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
