| Most important issue: | Citizen health is my issue. If you don’t take care of your body, where will you live? Minnesota boasts of good health care — yet more than 45 percent of us die, one by one, early, from vascular diseases like heart and brain attack. What if Charles Mayo, Helen Keller or Grandma Moses died early? What if we do? Who will take care of our responsibilities? When a job stops, should health-care coverage stop? We can provide a health safety net for disastrous events, along with “basic health care” for citizens who have no current access to health care. |
