Well Mr. Jenkins where you stand of the issues in 2016?

The issues of 2016 are the same issues of at least the last two previous election cycles.  I think that I will start with an issue that concerns us all...Health Insurance..The Affordable Care Act that has been with us for a while has been a step in the right direction..it has three very good points: no preexisting condition denial,children on your health care policy until they reach the age of twenty six and lastly no cap..that in itself is major.  The difficult to swallow points are high premiums and high out of pocket expenses. You would think that the insurance companies would want us to have reasonable health care premiums to stay healthy in order to pay all the other insurances we need in our lives.  I Pay almost twenty percent of my income for various insurances that I need  to keep my life going and I have medicare and a supplement that keep going up and up.  Those people with families pay the highest premiums.  A recent article in the New York Times suggested that people rather pay the penalty rather  than expensive insurance premiums.  I get it but I do not think it a wise decision.  We are not genetically perfect.  It is a wise choice to have health insurance. I think it is the responsibility of congress to make sure that the insurance companies come up with a comprehensive plan to have fair and less burdensome premiums and co pays.  I would invite the insurance  companies to come before the congress to solve this issue. MY PLAN SIMILAR TO BERNIE SANDERS OF MEDICARE FOR ALL is a very reasonable idea.  Fixed premiums and low co pays.  Let us all get it straight United Health Care was paid 390 million dollars to unveil the Affordable care act;there is no reason why they cannot help fix it..And by the way the main health care plan for AARP is sponsored by united health care. As your responsible representative I will work hard to that accomplished.  And of course I will be an advocate to see that social security and medicare stay in tact with a healthy future.
