"I believe that the basic concepts of socialized health care and privatized health care are good and speak to every range of patients in our country. Some of my peers have expressed their love for socialized health care because, although they pay a higher tax rate, they are not caught in an expensive whirlwind when they face illness. Privatized health care, on the other hand, can offer significantly shorter wait times for patients. That is very important for those with a potentially critical or debilitating illness. I believe it is important to have options for both so that people can choose and realize that the landscape here will change a lot throughout my career as a Physician Assistant."
