  <blurb>In Congress, I will stop insurance companies from ruthless price-gouging!  

Despite posting record profits - $43 BILLION - the insurance companies are price-gouging homeowners and dropping coverage for no reason.  Our state representatives, including Gus Bilirakis, have failed us.  They have failed to to stop the doubling and tripling of rates and failed to stand up to insurance lobbyists.  

I will take this fight to Washington and let them know that it is time to play by a new set of rules!</blurb>

      <pageblurb>Phyllis Busansky was first elected in 1988 to the Hillsborough County Commission as a reform candidate. As a Commissioner, she spearheaded an effort to create an indigent healthcare program that gained national acclaim and saved local taxpayers $100 million in its first four years. 

Phyllis served as the first Executive Director of Florida&amp;apos;s welfare-to-work agency under Governors Lawton Chiles and Jeb Bush. She developed the agency&amp;apos;s overall strategy, had fiscal responsibility for the program, and oversaw 24 local coalitions charged with implementing reform at the community level. This $1.2 billion program was recognized nationally for its ability to move people into productive jobs and reducing the welfare rolls by 80%.

She currently has her own healthcare consulting business and is a faculty member with Columbia University&amp;acirc;&#8364;&#8482;s Executive Master of Public Health program. Phyllis is happily married with three wonderful children and 9 grandchildren.
