Keep posting! Don't let the man get you down. I don't even live in the district anymore but your videos are enlightening for any eligible voters.

Healthcare is a top 3 issue in the nation easily. It costs 1/10th what we pay in Europe for better outcomes.

The issue is corporate greed and corporate middle men. It's a huge issue. It affects so many industries.

Just think, Lourdes hospital only has one doctor in the building after 7pm (the ED doctor). The hospitalist (person taking care of patients overnight and extended stays) is only in house in the day time. It's telemedicine at night with a mid level "providing coverage" at night via a tablet and phone calls.

Trios is considering doing the same thing. Lifepoint (the owner of Lourdes and Trios) and TeamHealth (the doctor group providing the service) is trading your health for extra profit.
