Got questions you’d like us to address? Contribute to the conversation in the Comments section here, or live on Friday.
I'm looking forward to this and I want to express my gratitude that you're offering this important conversation, but need to share my frustration that some people equate talking about the consequences of your vote can impact (has always impacted) healthcare priorities and policy in this nation. Too many people say, "we can't talk about politics," but in this year's election, our access to healthcare is truly on the line. I'm frustrated that a patient support group I'm in refuses to share this information because it falls under the category of "politics", yet this could affect these people and everyone who relies on healthcare in profound ways.
I watched this today and found it very well done. Not partisan, but informative. I wish people were not so allergic to the idea that we should be informed about how our vote has consequences for the healthcare policies that can affect us all. I highly recommend that folks take a listen to it!
