• Health Care Reform: Health Care Reform Law (The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or PPACA): On January 14, 2012, the LWVVC presented a program of "just the facts" about the new Health Care Reform Law. LWVVC Vice-President Claudia Roth (MSHC, RN)used information provided by the LWV of Florida, and that PowerPoint presentation is now available for your viewing as an easily accessible PDF file here. The file includes a 10-question quiz prepared by The Kaiser Family Foundation (http://www.kff.org) about the law, and only 1 percent of American voters were able to answer all questions correctly. Only 30 percent could get a C (70%) or better. The full oral presentation usually takes 45 minutes, including questions. If your group would like a presentation on the facts of the law, please call the LWVVC phone number (386-238-7361) and leave a message, or email your request to mail@lwvvc.org. Included in the oral presentation is a showing of this Kaiser Foundation short animated film on the law, "Health Reform Hits Main Street" which is now available here and on YouTube. The Foundation also provides a Spanish-language version.

• Redistricting: LWVVC and other chapters in Florida were very active in the successful efforts to push for amendments for non-partisan redistricting. For more information on this topic, see the website of FairDistrictsFlorida.org. For information on 2012 redistricting progress see the state website http://www.floridaredistricting.org/. For the latest census statistics on population patterns and demographics in Volusia County and our cities see also the Special Fact Finder from the Census Bureau.
• Health Care in Volusia County: In April 2011, Dr. Bonnie Sorensen, Director of the Volusia County Health Department, spoke to the LWVVC about the status of health in Volusia County.

For ease of access, Dr. Sorensen's presentation has been converted from PowerPoint to the more common PDF format.
• Water Issues in Florida: The LWVVC's November 12, 2011 general meeting and program featured a presentation on the importance of preserving the St. Johns River by the St. Johns Riverkeeper Neil Armingeon.
