Personally, I’m very concerned about health care.

If we don’t have healthy people, we won’t have a healthy country.

I work labor and delivery and I can’t tell you how many times I have women coming in who have not had pre-natal care because they didn’t have health insurance.  

I don’t make enough money to pay for health care, nor do I make so little that I qualify for any aid, so we fall through the cracks.

Being working middle-class families, it’s taken a disproportionate amount of our salaries just to pay for health care.

There are children and elderly people and many people, myself included, who can not afford health care.

My sister recently passed away from cancer. She paid and paid and paid for her health care and her insurance.

We are the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn’t protect our citizens this way.

Why should some people have the luxury of being able to go to a doctor or a hospital when they’re sick and other Americans denied that right, just because they don’t have the right job, or enough money?

We are going to always be behind.

The bottom line is not money, it is healthy people.

The president of the United States has to lead the way and show that this is a priority and that it’s important.

We can’t afford to let it get any higher or out of control.

I’m not asking for a hand-out, I just want it to be available and affordable.

Health care needs to be a top priority for the next president.

So please, please make health care for all a top priority.
