“Mike broke up healthcare bureaucracies that blocked new clinics from opening and expanded telehealth access”

What the record shows ·

In 2019 he voted Y on the bill that ended certificate-of-need review for general hospitals, 81-34, and on the telehealth law, 113-0. In 2024 he cast the only No vote, 117-1, on the Senate's health care access package, which funded loan repayment and residencies, set rules for advanced birth centers and joined Florida to the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. The same day he was the only No on a second Senate health bill, for health care innovation loans.

Limit: He voted for both 2019 laws but did not sponsor them. The 2019 repeal covered hospitals, not clinics. His 2024 No votes cut the other way, and no recorded reason for them was found.
