Sen. Rick Scott: Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida Families Need Disaster Relief Funding NOW
Senator Rick Scott released the following statement after meeting with military leaders at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City.
Senator Rick Scott said, “Our Panhandle communities have come a long way since the devastation of Hurricane Michael – but there is still a lot to do, especially when it comes to rebuilding Tyndall Air Force Base. As the Democrats in Congress continue to stall the passage of critical disaster relief funding, all construction to rebuild the base will have to stop on May 1st according to Air Force leadership. I don’t accept that. Instead of holding up disaster relief in Congress, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi should come down to the Panhandle and see the devastation first-hand.
It’s time Democrats realize that military families – and our entire North Florida community – need this funding NOW so they can start rebuilding their lives. Our men and women in uniform deserve better, and I will never stop fighting for Tyndall.” Read more HERE.

Senator Rick Scott released the following statement on the ongoing uprising against the Maduro Regime in Venezuela:
Senator Rick Scott said, “Today, the people of Venezuela are rising up against the brutal regime of Nicolas Maduro. I’ve already called on the Venezuelan military to stand for freedom and democracy in Venezuela and support Juan Guaidó. The United States must also be ready to answer that call. Guaidó and the people of Venezuela have taken this critical step. We cannot abandon them. Inaction is not an option.

This is a fight against Cuba, Russia, China, Iran and Hezbollah who are all in Venezuela right now and want to inflict pain and torture on the people. The time for talking is over.

Sen. Rick Scott Announces Protecting Patients from Surprise Medical Bills Act
Senator Rick Scott announced the Protecting Patients from Surprise Medical Bills Act (S.1266) to promote transparency in hospital billing and empower patients to fight against hospital price gouging.
Senator Rick Scott said, “Healthcare in this country is too expensive. We have to find ways to drive down the costs for American families. One way to do that is to force hospitals to be more transparent in their medical billing. There is no reason patients should be surprised by unconscionable charges for simple procedures and every patient should know what the price will be up front. Services at the hospital should mirror a free market system. We must ensure that prices and quality outcomes are aligned so Americans receive the best care possible when they visit a healthcare facility.
“I fought for and signed similar legislation as Governor of Florida, and I am bringing a common sense idea to Washington to help all American families.” Read more HERE.
