Universal health care is a serious issue for me and I hope Kerry does more than Clinton.

To me the argument over whether we have socialized care or not ends with this: who pays for the people without insurance to get the care they need? Tax dollars or people go too late because they can't afford it and then whatever they have becomes terminal.

We are the greatest nation in the world and right now we are telling everyone that we would rather have people ruin their credit and work till they die rather than offer health care so that people may live longer healthier lives.

Another issue, and I hope to hear Kerry's plan on this because if you are not a boomer it influences your life real soon.

The Boomer generation starts retiring real soon. That takes a lot of income tax money out of the system, not to mention expendable income out of the system. What plans are put into place to keep our government solvent and running programs that are needed?
