As we gear up for November 5, we urge you to engage deeply in the democratic process. Educate yourself about the candidates and issues at every level of the ballot. Consider how various policies and elected officials will affect you, your patients, public health, and health equity. Your vote is your voice in creating a healthier, more just society.
Health equity, in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health, hinges on individuals' ability to have a voice in the policies that affect their lives.
We view health as a human right. So voting is not just a civic duty. Your health -- and your patients' health -- depends on it.
Ah yes, the more "just society", where one's skin color either hurts or helps you. As for health, thanks to the Obamacare disaster, my insurance almost instantly doubled... now it's almost 4x what it was before that crap was put in place. Democrats have made nothing better.

Actually for most of us it doesn't matter who wins. Both sides make lots of empty promises that never happen. Abortion is still legal in all 50 states. After spending trillions, there still isn't enough housing, enough internet access, enough high speed rail.
Russia is still in Ukraine. Failures all over the political map.

Again, you think Trump hasn’t learned anything. Just watching his campaign tells me he’s learned a lot. Trump also kept a lot of promises and would have done much more if your low-t loser moderates and Democrats hadn’t knee capped him. He wasn’t a king despite what TDS patients claimed… there’s only so much he could have done given the situation. Both sides wanted him to fail because both sides are part of the system that only protects itself.

You do not now have, nor have you ever had, a just claim on the unpaid labor of another individual, which you would if you had a "right" to healthcare absent any ability to compensate the individuals which provided you the care. You do not have a just claim on my labor to subsidize your care. A health care professional may, in an act of charity, provide you with free to you care, or reduce their fees. A civic or religious group may build and operate a care facility which provides charity care, but there is no just claim to the labor of others to provide that care for you.
Sadly you are wrong. Governments can send you off to war. They can demand 50% of your yearly income. Essentially making you a six month slave to the Republic. They can even call you back to the military after you served your nation.
We have "rights" they say, but do we really?
