Florida is short on nurses. The state was more than 12,000 short in 2015, with additional vacancies arising this year.

TALLAHASSEE – AARP Florida asked the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) Thursday to reject a proposed $800-million-plus proposed settlement agreed to by Florida Power & Light Inc. (FPL) and groups representing some of FPL’s business and institutional customers.

Floridians, we need your help! We need you to help us educate state and federal candidates about the health and long-term care technologies needs that will benefit Floridians of all ages.

Long-term care is a pressing issue in the Sunshine State. Nearly 2.7 million family caregivers provide 2.5 billion hours of unpaid services annually to help their aging loved ones continue to live at home rather than placing them in nursing homes.

AARP’s national accountability campaign ‘ Take a Stand ‘ is well underway here in Florida, and our staff and volunteers are working hard to pressure candidates into telling voters how they would update Social Security for the 21st century and keep the promise for future generations. We want our leaders to make Social Security a priority and to put serious proposals on the table. If lawmakers fail to take action, Social Security benefits could be reduced by 25 percent by 2034, and future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year in benefits.
