53. These are merely my top two:
Hillary's health plan will bring desperately needed relief to the emergency rooms in my area. By mandating health insurance for everyone we will witness a dramatic change in the way the uninsured are clogging the emergency rooms, actually putting other's lives in danger. They will be able to stop using these hugely-expensive facilities as their primary care providers. Thus, the cost of the overuse of these expensive facilities will not be spread to my insurance premium and to the insurance premiums of other's in my area. Saving lives, reducing the expensive burdens to those struggling to afford their own insurance, providing affordable insurance to those that cannot currently afford it, are vital reasons to prefer Hillary's plan over McCain's and Obama's.


Hillary wants to throw out NCLB, and implement education plans that actually work. NCLB is a detriment to the education of our children in various ways. Most visibly, teachers forsake vital teaching methodologies to simple teach to the test, depriving our children of scientifically-proven learning techniques. Additionally, NCLB is draining school-district budgets all across Florida where precious education dollars are diverted into the development and implementation of better ways for teachers to teach to the test under the guise of "School Improvement Plans", a misnomer flying in the face of the way NCLB is not hardly improving education, but is rather ruining publican education. Obama has stated he wants to revise NCLB. All voters concerned with the education of our children should be screaming: NO REVISIONS - THROW NCLB IN THE TRASH CAN.
