Other or expanded principles |
I would allow the sale of health insurance across state lines. That would provide competition against statewide insurance oligopolies and decrease insurance premiums in many states. I would support legislation that? would allow any legal resident of the United States to buy into Medicare at cost, with pre-tax dollars. All Americans should be able to enroll in Medicare, where they would be eligible for coverage under Parts A and B, as well as Parts D prescription drug access. Because premiums would be equal to cost, the program would pay for itself and provide an affordable alternative to private insurance.

We need to strengthen our borders and enact stricter laws against recruiting, hiring, and exploiting undocumented workers. Illegal immigrants should not be rewarded for breaking our laws, but those undocumented workers who have been working, paying taxes, and have been productive members of our society, should not be deported, but they should be penalized for breaking our immigration laws and should be forced to wait twice the amount of time to become citizens.

Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding. |
1. Wall Street must be held accountable for the damage done to the American econom. The Justice Department and the S.E.C. must investigate and prosecute the individuals who engaged in illegal activities which broke the economy.
2. I support term limits for members of both Houses of Congress and a lifetime ban on members of Congress from becoming paid lobbyists.
3. We have laws protecting medical and financial privacy. Since much of our personal information is stored in numerous databases, we need new laws to prevent the networking of these databases to prevent public disclosure of privately stored personal information.
