Health Care
Should be available, portable and affordable for all citizens, with means-tested government subsidies for those who cannot pay in full. De-link health benefits from employment. The practice of saddling employers with costly pension and health insurance benefit obligations is hurting the ability of American companies to compete in the global economy. This is most obvious in the auto industry.
While we support the basic goal of expanding coverage to all Americans, we do not believe recent health insurance reform legislation will reduce health care costs. More research and work needs to be done on this subject, and legislative changes will have to be made in order to bring costs under control. The dramatic and unabated costs in health care costs threaten to cripple our families and nation.

Every warship launched,
Every rocket fired
Signifies, in the final sense,
A Theft
From those who Hunger
And are not fed
Those who are cold
and not clothed.
