Richard Charman read a letter of Senator Nelson dated July 13, 2009, in reply to a petition letter delivered by him, on May 29, 2009, by request of MoveOn.Org. requesting the support of Public Option, in reference to the Health Care Bill being drafted by Congress, which will provide ALL American people with:
1.- Affordable (low cost) Health Care.
2.- Freedom of choice in selecting whether to keep their private insurance or to enroll with a government backed Public Insurance, and
3.- Quality of care and low cost generic medication that have the same properties and benefit of brand name, yet more expensive, medications.

These are the 3 core principles that conform President Obama envisioned Health Care request for America.

In his letter of reply Senator Bill Nelson stated "...I am working toward reforms that would make health insurance available to all Americans through an insurance exchange and would provide subsidies to those who cannot afford coverage."

Richard Charman stated that the position of Senator Nelson falls short of the 3 core principles outlined by President Obama on his request to Congress for a Public Option.


The participants rushed to sign the petitions requesting Senator Bill Nelson to support a strong Public Health Care Option, as soon as Dave Patlak, leader of MoveOn.Org, Miami Beach Council, made them available.

Richard Charman went inside the office accompanied by some of the participants and conveyed the message to Senator Bill Nelson's Senior Staff and Regional Director, Laura I. Fatovic.


After this, she stated, without elaborating, that "Senator Bill Nelson is deeply committed to his constituency and his position on this issue has changed since them".

Here, members of the first group tells their personal stories to Laura I. Fatovic, who listened patiently.

We left the office confidents that Senator Bill Nelson will be on our side, in reference to strongly supporting a Public Health Care Option, as he has been in the past when he opposed the $700 Billions bailout to the bankers of Wall Street, as the following video shows.
