Free quality health care for all
One in seven people in the United States are denied access to health care--47 million people in the world’s richest country. Most of the 250 million insured are criminally underinsured. Each year, over 100,000 people in the United States die from
preventable health complications.None of the major presidential candidates pledge to implement what the people of the Unites States really need: free, universal access to quality health care. All the major candidates are stooges for corporations.

Create a universal healthcare system
Creating a universal healthcare system would eliminate the huge costs (and the constant stress created by them) that many retired and disabled people are forced to pay for medicines and treatment in general.
