Florida Gov. Rick Scott is saying Florida will do nothing to comply with President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

Scott recently said he would follow the law if it were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. But he went on national television on Friday night and said Florida will not take any steps to help carry out the overhaul.

Sunday we spoke to Democratic U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, and Congressman John Mica, R-Winter Park.

Senator Nelson and Congressman Mica expressed opposing views on Governor Rick Scott not complying with the Affordable Care Act.

"Florida does have a lot of folks that are uninsured," said Congressman John Mica.  "I think what we need to do is repeal Obamacare and I think that will probably be on the first orders of business of the next Congress and hopefully a new President."

Mica went on to say, "We can put in place some measures that do provide access to affordable care and also address some of the needs that we have."

Nelson said, regardless of Governor Rick Scott's input, the Affordable Care Act is about lowering health care costs and the law will be implemented with or without Scott's help.

"The healthcare exchanges are going into effect under the law of this land in 2014.  It clearly says if a state won't participate, then the federal goverment will come in and set up the health exchange and that's so you bring the rates down," explained Nelson.

Nelson said that most Americans would rather improve the law than get rid of it.

"Should I repeal it, or should I fix it? The Supreme County said it's constitutional, now let's go on about the process of making it work," Nelson concluded.

Governor Scott said on Fox News that the state would not expand the Medicaid program in order to lower the number of uninsured residents. The US Supreme Court did say Thursday that the states did not have to expand Medicaid.

The governor also said that Florida would not set up a state-run health exchange, or a marketplace where people needing insurance policies could shop for them.

These two pieces are critical components of the Affordable Care Act for people who cannot get health insurance through an employer.

The governor said that expanding eligibility of Medicaid to those just above the poverty level would not help the citizens of Florida.

Gov. Scott's press secretary, Lane Wright, issued the following statement Saturday on the governor's decision:

"As Governor Scott indicated last night on Fox News, Florida is not going to be implementing Obamacare. We will not expand Medicaid and we will not implement the exchanges. If there is any part of the law that requires action before November, Florida will comply, but he is committed to repealing the law before it ever takes effect. 

"Obamacare is bad for job creation and it doesn't solve the real problem. We don't have a health insurance problem in this country, we have a health care cost problem. Obamacare does nothing to solve the problem of rapidly rising costs, and actually removes any incentive to lower them. For those reasons Governor Scott says he will work to repeal the law."
