Health Care Advisory Council
In 2008, Florida PIRG created our Health Care Advisory Council to improve the effectiveness of our work with the Florida Legislature on bills to reform our health care system.
Each of the six council members have held positions of responsibility in Florida’s public health care system and have expert knowledge in the following areas:
- • Hospital and nursing home regulation;
- • Regulation of health care professionals such as physicians and nurses;
- • Preventive health care services such as nutrition and tobacco prevention;
- • Regulation of environmental health care issues such as toxic waste, clean water, and diseases transmitted by animals;
- • Delivery and reimbursement of health care services by managed care organizations, insurance companies, and public providers such as county health departments and charity care providers.
With Florida PIRG, the health care advisory council will fight for the public interest to lower health care cost and fix our broken health care system.
