HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C - Individuals who have paid into Medicare their entire working lives should not have that benefit pulled out from under them, and individuals with intellectual disabilities and other serious disabilities who have no one else to care for them benefit from health services under Medicaid.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
