In discussing the issue, Pinellas Party Chair Mark Hanisee said, "There are 60 million Americans without any health care, and Florida ranks second behind Texas with those who have none at all. The ACA can remedy this crisis. On October 1, 2013 every American will be given the opportunity to enroll in this new program. As Democrats concerned for all Americans, it is our duty -as a party- to see that we support and promote this program so everyone will have the ability to enjoy quality health care."
The Pinellas Democratic Executive Committee’s monthly meeting is open to all registered Democrats and the general public, space permitting. It starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 26th at the St. Petersburg Marriott Hotel, 12600 Roosevelt Blvd N, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716.
