Wouldn't wish this on their worst enemy.

Personal stories like the one below illustrate the problems average people are facing.

 

“For many years my father, who is 54 and a veteran from the Vietnam War, and my family went without healthcare. Just a couple months ago we finally got healthcare. I strongly support this cause because my father was suffering and is still suffering with prostate cancer, COPD, and a severe back problem (basically his spinal cord is completely destroyed) and in at least a year he will no longer be able to walk and we be forced into a wheelchair.

For years we never we able to go on family vacations, cut back on household products/needs, and our home, in which I was raised in for 16 years of my life (I am now 18),was foreclosed on and we were forced to move. Our lives were horrible. I wouldn’t wish what we went through for years on my worst enemy.

Now that I am 18 I am able to vote. I registered the exact day I turned 18. One of the main things I look for in a Presidential Candidate is one who like you said ensure that all Americans have access to quality health care because for many Americans it is crucial.

Americans should have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their futures will be financially secure. Yet, millions of Americans worry about their health and long-term financial security. Join other Americans who are speaking out about these issues and how they impact our lives.
