Letter: Brown has the answer to healthcare crisis

Christine Brown wants a national health system, Medicare for all.

I am diabetic, passed to me from my mom. You can be born with a pre-existing condition that does not show up for years. I first met my condition when denied life insurance. We are all a pre-existing condition.

Christine Brown knows a national health system, Medicare for all, will cost 50 percent less than today for businesses and individuals. I buy insulin for $500 per month in the USA. In the Canadian national health system, my insulin would be $100 per month. Since I do not want to move, I will vote for Christine Brown for Congress. She will save me $4,800 a year and billions for all. Go see and hear her when the chance comes up. You will vote for Christine Brown for Congress.

Save money and live better with Christine Brown for Congress.
