Health Care Issues

Government Mandates
Should health insurance providers be required to offer free birth control? 
No, it should be covered like any other prescription
NGOs should campaign through outreach and donations to make birth control free

Euthanasia
Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide? 
Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

Abortion
What is your stance on abortion? 
Pro-choice, but providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

Do you support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)
I support a government option.
The first thing to do is to find out why health care is so unaffordable.
Why can health care bankrupt a family?
Community health
health provided by employer
affordable coop health care coverage

Should the government regulate the prices of life-saving drugs? 
consumers should regulate the prices
Patents should be limited
People should be allowed to copy drugs but pay a percentage to the entity that created the drug. For a limited time~ 20 years from discovery.

Do you support the legalization of Marijuana? 
Legalize all drugs

Should the federal government increase funding of health care for low income individuals (Medicaid)? 
Provide funding as needed. In exchange for public service. If patient cannot work, family member can provide service in their place
