Healthcare in Florida
In healthcare there seem to exist two parallel universes:the one for normal earthlings crushed by 30% health insurance premium increases and the one for our politicians who pay peanuts for their own insurance.
For example, Florida House members will pay just $8.34 a month for state-subsidized health care next year, or $30 a month to cover their entire family. That’s one-sixth of what state senators and most state employees will pay, and one-tenth of the cost to the average private-sector worker, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. It’s also less than the $25 a month House Republicans wanted to charge poor Floridians for basic coverage such as a limited number of doctor visits or preventive care.
Unless we enjoy living in a parallel universe we should NOT let them get away with it!!!
Yours
Bernd
