Florida Democratic U.S. Senate candidate slams party’s healthcare proposal as a ‘special interest plan’
by Michael C. Bender | January 20th, 2010From Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Maurice Ferre:
“Of course I am for healthcare reform, but this is not the right plan for the working families of Florida.
“This plan was arrived at with unacceptable compromises. It is a special interest plan that raises taxes and favors insurance and pharmaceutical companies. I fear the President has lost sight of his original goal of extending healthcare to all Americans and at the same time controlling healthcare costs.”
Ferre is running in his party’s U.S. Senate primary against U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, who voted for the bill in the House.

Ferre is a strong candidate for Senate. He is an elder statesman who is committed to getting the best health care plan we should have, rather than the best health care plan we can buy.

One of the candidates who wins this election coming up needs to PLEASE investigate the rampid corruption in Brevard County. From the Judges, one who has been negligent for years and now has caused a death, to Plastic Surgeons who claim to be Board Certified, but are not.

There is a problem in Brevard County with the corrupt judges, one of whom has caused a death, Plastic Surgeons who claim to be Board Certified and are not. We need a person in government who is hones. Charlie Christ claims he can do nothing about the Judicial problems in the State of Florida and has turned his back. I have written to and sent paperwork proving we have a problem in Barefoot Bay, Florida causing over 200 people to be sick to William Shepard, Statewide Prosecutor as a retired juvenile judge dropped in from the sky to hear a case involving this Judges brother or son and there is more problems in this State. But Charlie Christ claims no concern or power over the judicial part of the State Gov.

Alex Sink, one of the most corrupt politians we have. She turned her back on proof of the butchering of a person under the “Board Certified Plastic Surgeons Knife.
Bill Nelson could care less about the 10,000 voters in Barefoot Bay, who deal with a dirt and dust problem making them sick.
Bill McCullum, Attorney General, syas not his problem with corruption in the Brevard County Judicial System.
Mike Haridopolos, not my problem but I do want Barefoot Bays votes.
Norman Wolfinger State Attorney, not my problem about corruption in Brevard County Judicial System, this was before the death of a 23 year old just married woman who Judge Dean Moxley “didn’t have enough information”, he’s the relative of the D. C. Moxley Contracting Inc. who leveled 260 acres of land and then abandoned it. This land was sold by American Land Lease, Inc. to The Green Courte Partners LLC for $438 million and yet we are still sick in Barefoot Bay, Florida.
Brevard County refused to enforce their own law suit against the land contractor and the land owner/developer. Whose running this Florida Ship?
