HEALTH CARE

It Affects Everybody

* Private Health Insurance Availability

* Reduce prescription costs, by working directly with those companies.

* Medicare for all means low quality health care and puts your life in the hands of the Government. It's also a pipe dream at $50+ Trillion. Socialized medicine is a failure and will tax the middle class immensely. I use the VA and am very familiar with this subject.
