Nov 2019

I was posing that question to helpisontheway.

This business of “this person deserves it and that person doesn’t” doesn’t sit well with me. We have millions of citizens who have led law-abiding and productive lives. And we have citizens who have been suffering from various chronic illnesses and disabilities their whole lives. Don’t we all deserve to have the same good healthcare? And in no way am I denigrating service members. Quite the opposite, I absolutely believe they deserve good affordable healthcare. But so do the rest of us.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
