| Most important issue: |
HEALTH CARE. The United States has been debating this issue since Teddy Roosevelt. We deserve a health care system that does not cost 1/3 of our income. Our current system allows families to lose their homes. It allows insurance companies to decide who gets service and who doesn't. And why are we letting the drug companies tell us how much to pay for drugs. We need change and we need it now. |
