Manatee chamber joins health care debate

The Manatee County Chamber of Commerce is one of some 3,100 chambers, businesses and other groups in the country that have signed a letter sent to every member of Congress "expressing concern with the current health care proposals moving through Congress," a news release states.

”Health care is the foundation of everyone’s quality of life, and we need meaningful reform that will address those issues that are driving up the costs of health care and making it unaffordable to millions of Americans,” Bob Bartz, president of the Manatee County chamber said in the release from the local chamber.
