Committee discussing health care reform and its impact on Florida

As I sit in the House Health Care Regulation Committee meeting this afternoon, it is clear that the federal health care bill which passed yesterday has fueled a volatile debate. Currently, the Committee is discussing HJR 37 by Rep. Plakon to create a constitutional amendment to protect Florida from the federal bill. As citizens, advocates and others stand in line to express their opinions while others shout out from the audience, it is clear that this issue is partisan and not finished yet. What does it mean for us? Follow this bill with us as it may be on your 2010 ballot.
