(68,582 posts)in Cleveland...shouldn't depend on where you live but it does...my friend receives great care. That being said, don't think soldiers have the same needs as the general population. We have men and women coming home from what I call the oil wars grievously injured. Many would have died in past wars. And some will need care for the rest of their life and we have PTSD...some of these folks have done numerous tours which is risky in terms of mental health...their needs must be met, I believe military care must stay in place. I do think soldiers should have a choice so if you live in an area where there is not great care available (boonies-and such areas should not exist by the way)...you can get the universal care...choice is always a good thing. In the Youngstown area, all non-catholic hospitals have closed. This puts pregnant women at great risk should they miscarry...which is very common and should not be life threatening but it is without timely treatment. The entire system is a mess. People who live in small town or rural areas are at great risk right now with all the hospital closings.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
