Florida Governor Rick Scott, a Republican, said he supports expanding Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul while the federal government pays the full cost, reversing a previous position.

Scott, 60, said at a news conference today in Tallahassee that he will ask the state legislature to back the expansion under Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law in June, Scott said he wouldn’t expand Medicaid, and then after the November presidential election said he was open to it.
