Urge A Vote On Health Care Expansion In The Florida House

We the undersigned urge you to put health care expansion up for a floor vote in the Florida House. Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured in the country. We believe it's time to expand health care coverage as provided by the ACA and provide coverage for nearly million hardworking Floridians. In addition to providing greater health security for Floridians who need it, the Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Health Policy estimates expansion will create an estimated 65,000 new Florida jobs in the first six years alone. Please schedule a vote on health care expansion without delay.here

While some of the largest businesses in the country get sizeable tax breaks, small business owners don’t have the same options. here

By a 5-0 vote, Tampa City Council on Thursday passed “The Tampa Accord.” (Any major agreement between the Cuban and U.S governments to be signed in Tampa.)
