Social Issues- Chelsea Filippi

Issue #1- College Tuition

a. Hillary Clinton feels that colleges and universities should be accountable to control tuition so everyone can afford it and leave college with some type of degree. Another view is that she wants to make community colleges free. She also will encourage families who have issues affording the tuition to come up with some kind of contribution in order to pay.
b. I do agree with Hillary's ideas about college tuition because there are families who have issues affording college tuition for their kids. By working with colleges and universities all across the country, Hillary could help make all colleges and universities affordable for all citizens who want to go to college and earn a degree.
c. I feel like this factor would not be a deciding factor for my vote, but I feel that this is a very good idea for people in the United States who can't afford to go to college and want a degree.

Issue #2- Healthcare

a. Hillary wants to spread affordable healthcare all across America for everyone. She kept fighting for a healthcare reform when Congress denied it. Without her, the Children's Healthcare Insurance Program would not be around. Also, according to hillaryclinton.com, after 9/11, Hillary pushed "for $20 billion for recovery and to address health care needs of first responders who suffered lasting health effects from their time at Ground Zero." She wants to lower the cost of prescription drugs and out-of-pocket costs like copays.
b. I agree with this idea because I feel that healthcare is a serious issue in the United States and I feel that it is crucial to lower important things such as prescription drugs because it is sometimes difficult for people to afford them.
c. I feel like this is a factor that would be a deciding factor because healthcare is a serious issue that affects millions of people across the United States, and that some sort of action should be taken to enhance this issue.
