Pasco Health Care
A group of local leaders and politicians has formed a committee to lessen the gap between those in Pasco who have
adequate health care and an estimated 100,000 who do not.
The committee is floating several options, including a quarter-cent or half-cent sales tax increase, which
could generate millions of dollars but would require a legislative act, county commission support and ultimately, voter
approval.
What do you think? Would you agree to such a tax?
I would not vote for more taxes until I found out who was gonna be helped. The migrants make far more money than is reported.

I saw your survey results. Pasco residents really need to emerge into the 21st century. The illegals and county poor are sucking up all the health care reserves we have. Something needs to be done. This year I had to choose between health care or homeowners insurance. To keep from being foreclosed, I had to keep the homwowners, but had to fore go the health insurance. There are alot out there like me. I don’t qualify for much but if I show up on the stoop of a hospital, I will need as much financial help as I can get. !/2 cent isn’t much. In Hillsborough, they don’t feel the “loss” at all!
