We WILL pass Universal Health Care
not, we need to enroll more people into Obamacare
not, we can only do it incrementally
not , let's expand Medicare for all
not, we begin by lowering the price of insulin

We WELCOME DC, Puerto Rice, Guam and the other territories into Statehood (if they choose)
not, let's make DC a state
not, how can the US govn be more responsive to the PR?

===> a side issue for another day...any territory NEEDS voting representation in the Congress, whether a state or not

Social Security: There is NO CAP on income, everyone contributes.
(problem is Rich might not have reportable income because of investments and loopholes, therefore, they pay 2% of their investment value, just like retires have an RMD from their IRAs every year after age 73)
=========

please add your own suggestion.
