HELP PROTECT OUR JOBS FROM BUDGET CUTS
Florida State leaders propose hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts that will put nearly
40,000 healthcare and related jobs in jeopardy, to programs that provide healthcare benefits to
low income families, children, the elderly and the disabled.
The FSRC as part of the coalition to Heal Florida’s Health Care asks that you join us
to oppose these drastic cuts. Click here to learn more, and to voice your opinion. http://www.healflhealthcare.com |
