Marco Rubio

I believe I am most like Marco Rubio. I agree with many of Marco's issues and things he is concerned with in Florida. A few issues I agree with him on are health care (looking into), the economy, education, and spending. He has educated me the most in the bill I am proposing. Interesting facts about Florida:

 · Florida is the 4th most populated state in the United States  · There is a higher population of elderly people in Florida  · Florida is 58,560 square miles  · 80% of Florida's population is Caucasians.  · Orlando, Florida is the most visited park in the United States. For example, Disney World.

<span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 156.75pt; tabstops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Health care <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Many people are concerned about their health care costs. The presidents' health care law is going to increase health care costs bankrupt the country, and the government will control what type of health care people get, and who gets it. Obama Care was issued in March of 2010. Many people aren't happy with this. In order to start lowering health care costs we need to take simple common sense actions, allowing people to purchase health insurance across state lines, let small businesses join together to make cheaper, building more hospitals, and keeping people's health care records on computers so they have the history.

<span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 156.75pt; tabstops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Economy <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">People are concerned about how Obama is taking our country by piling up debt, increasing taxes and advocating anti-growth policies that will harm our economy. For example, people aren't happy with the way taxes are. They are increasing. People want a government that makes it easier for employers to create jobs, and provide an assurance in tax policies. In order to improve the economy, we need to repeal Obama Care, stop laws that are hurting job creations, and support free trade agreements.

In order to improve the education of the future we should create a tax deduction, let people be involved in reviews about something that may be taking place, increase parental access to school performances, improve school choices, overcome the science, technology, engineering and mathematics crisis, create students with disabilities [[GBollas#|[[GBollas#|scholarships]]]], promote voluntary Pre-K scholarships, and provide opportunity scholarships for students in chronically failing schools.

Link to Bill: SB4

People should support this bill becasue it affects many people and its important because it deals with your health and money. People should all have healthcare. Most people that don't have healthcare is because they cannot afford it. It should be affordable to everyone, and most importantly, individuals should choose what type of healthcare they would like to purchase. If people don't support this, many people could lose there jobs, or not have healthcare because they cannot afford it.
