Our July 9th and 23rd events at Senator Nelson's Coral Gables Office were great successes. Senator Nelson is on the Finance Committee that is crafting a bill. Now that Senator Nelson is back in Florida for the August recess, we must turn up the heat for national heathcare reform including a real public option that will keep the insurance companies honest at this critical time.

We urge Senator Bill Nelson to support health care reform with a real public health insurance option—the core part of reform we need to bring down costs for families and small businesses in Florida. It’s important that Senator Bill Nelson be an advocate for a real public option – one that is ready Right away, available to Everyone, Accountable to the public and Large enough to lower costs.

We want a face-to-face meeting in the critical month of August with Senator Bill Nelson at his office in Coral Gables that we pay for with our taxes.
