MAKE
SURE FLORIDA's VOICES REACH DC:
Floridians of all ages – both

security of stable, affordable, quality health coverage for
themselves and their families.
Join the health care reform efforts
listed below, and
CALL SENATOR NELSON
TODAY!
at
1-800-828-0498 or
202-224-5274 to remind him that we
must have health care reform, but reform is
meaningless if it doesn't include coverage that is affordable
for Florida's working
families.
