Assignment:

Your United States Senator or Representative and your State of Florida Senator or Representative, and Their Health Policy Involvement

Legislators at the federal and state levels are potential suppliers of new health policies. Legislators are elected, and may be motivated to serve the public interest or their own self interest. As a concerned citizen, and especially as a health professional, it is important that you know where the legislators that represent you stand on various health issues. What types of health policies do they favor, and which policies are they likely to oppose?

You are to design a paper discussing:

• Your United States Senator or United States Representative and their health policy involvement
• Your State Senator or State Representative and their health policy involvement

Provide a brief biography of your Rick Scott, and Marc Rubio

Describe a federal level health related policy he is currently proposing or publicly supporting, or recently proposed or supported. Remember all the determinants of health when looking for policies. For the policy:

• identify and provide some background on the health related problem the policy addresses or addressed.
• explain how the policy is a potential solution to the problem.
• identify whether it is it an allocative or regulatory policy, and for whom the policy will have consequences and why.
• identify the groups and/or individuals (including other legislators) that are opposed or were opposed to the policy and why.
