On Health Care: 80% reimbursement for Medicare prescriptions

Q: Would elderly people with low incomes get all the prescription drugs they need at no cost to them under your proposals?

A: My Medicare policy includes 80% reimbursements for those prescription drugs that have been scientifically proven to be effective. Medicare will negotiate the lowest prices for drugs: My prescription drug benefit will not become a form of corporate welfare for the pharmaceutical industry - nor lead to over-prescription of drugs.

On Homeland Security: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is a recipe for discrimination

Q: Do you support the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the military?

A: “Don’t ask, don’t tell’ is a recipe for discrimination. Gays should be allowed to defend our country, as they indeed always have, without censure of silence. Naturally, sexual promiscuity heterosexual or homosexual - has no place in the military.”
