An attempt by an elite group of legislators to privatize health care in Florida prisons has failed. Today a Florida circuit judge ruled in favor of unions challenging the privation plans. AFSME Executive Director Alma Gonzalez says the group of lawmakers trying to privatize health care was abusing their power.

“They have forgotten how important the rule of law is and that in fact we have a constitution and that you cannot backdoor deals. To make sure things are done in the sunshine,” said Gonzalez.

The lawmakers said privatizing health care could save the state 50 million dollars a year, but now it looks like the issue will have to go in front of the full legislature if it’s going to become law.
