What's interesting here is that most people in this red district want to see tightening of costs for prescription costs and doctor's fees followed by an increase in payroll contributions. it is scary that 15.29% want to replace medicare with the private insurance. i am going to bet none of those people are on medicare or have parents or would need it.
