Gov. Rick Scott failed to reach an agreement with the secretary of Health and Human Services Wednesday.
The two met in Washington to discuss the $2.2 billion dollar LIP fund.
He told reporters the conversation was good, but "we don’t have a resolution."
In a statement, Scott’s office said inaction will be the same as a no when Florida lawmakers convene in a special session to pass a budget.
Florida’s Senator Bill Nelson said in a statement that the governor is "showing callous disregard for the needs of Floridians."
