What Kind Of Health Care System Do Floridians Want?

After viewing tonight’s Florida gubernatorial debate, I am left to ponder the present state of Health Care for Floridians. Categorically, many of Florida’s most vulnerable Patients are in need of sound, accessible, and affordable Health Care. Humane Health Care must be coupled with fiscal responsibility in order to ensure that the State of Florida can deliver Quality service over the long-haul.

The nature of my outreach to you is not intended to be political in nature; but rather, a call to arms to ensure that we elect leaders who value the importance of Health Care. Make your vote count on November 7th by choosing substance over baseless political promises. Collectively, we can fix the present ills of modern-day Health Care in a manner that guarantees Quality Health Care for all Floridians.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr.
