Cancer prevention is largely up to each of us. What we can't do on our own, Kucinich can do with his universal healthcare plan-one similar to the UK and every other civilized nation where the government pays for everything.
Armstrong asked: If universal healthcare is so good, why do people from the UK come here for medical care? Kucinich, visibly stumped by this question, did his best to not answer it. And he didn't-which brings me to my overall impression of this forum.
The candidates convinced and confused me all at once. But cancer confuses me too. I never intended to walk away from this debate with a definite winner in mind. I expected to be educated and enlightened. And I was.
