Tell FL Senators to Oppose Flawed Health Care Proposal

The Florida Chamber of Commerce continues to support reforming the health system, specifically efforts to control costs and improve quality, reforms of insurance markets, and the creation of a streamlined, simplified marketplace to purchase insurance.

However, the bill passed by the U.S. House fails a simple litmus test for health reform legislation: the proposal does not improve the current situation; in fact, it will largely make it worse.

Tax increases to pay for a public plan, employer mandates, and minimum coverage will do more than devastate the private insurance industry--they could bankrupt our economy.

This type of health reform would bankrupt our government and leave tens of millions of Americans without the health care they deserve. Tell your U.S. Senators from Florida to oppose the creation of a "public plan," burdensome employer mandates, and minimum coverage requirements.
