    ELECTION GUIDE FOR LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES 4 0 0 2 FLORIDA Provided by FHC PAC P.O. Box 1459 Tallahassee, FL 32302 (850) 224-3907 s (850) 681-2075 fax www.FHCA.org 2004 Election Guide for Long Term Care Facilities The 2005 Legislative Session will be a critical one for Florida nursing homes. The state budget crisis is such that legislators will not be able to avoid making serious and broad reforms in order to keep spending under control. The Medicaid Program is growing at leaps and bounds and executive and legislative leaders have stated that the program must be brought under control. Any major changes to the way Medicaid is financed will have serious implications for Medicaid recipients and providers, and for the state’s health care system as a whole. We must take every opportunity to ensure that we elect people who understand and support long term care providers. That is why the Florida Health Care Association is providing you with this election year guide. It contains information that the Association has collected on state Senate and House races. We do not intend it to be fully comprehensive; there are many candidates that we have not met. However, we share with you what we do know now so that you, your staff, residents and family members may become better educated as voters and more active in your elected official’s races. This guide contains the following items: * An outline of the 2004-2005 Grassroots Program - It describes our plan for the election and for the upcoming legislative session.

  • Senator Baxley SB 86 Strike All Letter
    THE FLORIDA SENATE COMMITTEES: Ethics and Elections, Chair Appropriations Subcommittee on Criminal and Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1100 Civil Justice Community Affairs Criminal Justice Health Policy Judiciary Rules JOINT COMMITTEE: Joint Legislati e Auditing Committee, Alternating Chair SENATOR DENNIS BAXLEY 12th District Senators, Over the last few weeks, I have appreciated the opportu ity to discuss the status of Florida s need and merit-based student financial aid programs with you, constituents a d families across die state, and other stakeholders within Florida s #1 ranked higher education system. The common diread of these discussions has been the shared desire for all of our students to succeed in meaningful careers that provide for ieir families and serve our communities. I believe we should encourage all students to pursue their passions, but the fact remain that higher education comes at a significant cost to both students and taxpayers and there needs to be at least some element of career planning involved. My goal in filing Senate Bill 86 was to begin the discussion about both the cost and the value of the degrees and programs within our higher education system. Based on your feedback, and with that goal in mind, I have filed an amendment that represents a concrete step forward in this discussion, while at the same time preserving the merit-based financial aid benefits our students earned in high school, regardless of which undergraduate path the student chooses. A brief summary of the strike-all amendment I filed today is below: The strike all amendment removes from the bill: • The reduction of a Bright Futures or Benacquisto Scholarship award amount tied to student enrollment in a certificate or degree program on a list created by the BOG, SBE, or ICUF.

  • January 29 – February 2, 2018
    THIS WEEK IN THE FLORIDA SENATE JANUARY 29 – FEBRUARY 2, 2018 Senate Budget Prioritizes Education, Environment, Health Services & Public Safety Officers This week, the Senate Committee on Appropriations, chaired by Senator Rob Bradley, unanimously passed Senate Bill 2500, the Senate’s proposed budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. This balanced budget prioritizes Florida’s K-12 and higher education systems, the environment, health services, and state Public Safety Officers, while setting aside $3.4 billion in total reserves, with no new taxes. The proposed budget reflects the Senate’s strong commitment to supporting our students, and recognizes the link between education and our economy. From unprecedented per-student funding for our K-12 schools, to continuing historic investments in need and merit-based student financial aid, we understand that there is a significant return for taxpayers when we invest in Florida’s future. Additionally, with the permanent expansion of the Bright Futures scholarship, students who have earned the right to attend college have a better chance of reaching their goal without financial burdens standing in the way of their dreams. The Senate is committed to protecting Florida’s environment and the budget reflects that by including $154 million for Florida Forever Programs, $183 million for Florida’s Everglades, and $95 million for Springs Restoration. [1] The Senate is also taking action to end Florida’s opioid crisis by providing viable solutions to help communities combat this horrible epidemic. By funding over $53 million for the treatment and prevention of opioid addiction, we are taking steps in the right direction to solve this rampant crisis in our state.
