For the three Democratic candidates hoping to become the latest state representative for Hollywood and Pembroke Pines, it's what everyone is talking about....
Whether it's health insurance or insurance for homeowners, cardiovascular surgeon Arthur Palamara, community activist Barry Sacharow and attorney Elaine Schwartz each have stressed how their plans will save taxpayers money.
Sacharow, 51, has drafted a detailed state-subsidized home insurance plan that would be funded by shrinking the pool of items exempt from sales tax. The plan covers residential homes as well as condominiums and commercial buildings.
Sacharow has also suggested opening federally-funded clinics to everyone, which he thinks will lower the cost of Medicaid and decrease the number of expensive visits to the emergency room.
Palamara, 63, who has been vocal in Tallahassee on health insurance issues for the past decade, said he has been meeting with several major health insurance providers to discuss ways to offer healthcare to some of the more than 3.5 million uninsured in Florida.
Schwartz, 63, is looking to small business owners to help improve the health insurance situation in the state. She proposes the state offer incentives to small businesses that provide health insurance to their employees.
Despite being a newcomer, Schwartz thinks her experience in law has groomed her to work with Republicans to back some of her ideas.
