State Democrats are calling on congress for universal health care.

Florida lawmakers are joining the Florida Alliance of Retired Americans to urge congress to act quickly. Nearly 4 million Floridians don�t have health insurance. State Senator Dave Aronberg said children are paying the price.

�Working people should be able to find a doctor for their sick child. Who could argue for that? Every family should have a family doctor and that�s what this is about. This is about making sure we control health care cost, because right now the health care system is dependant on emergency rooms� for basic health care,� said Aronberg.

More than half of all people who filed for bankruptcy say medical bills drained their bank accounts.
