HEALTH CARE /MEDICAL CARE /SOCIAL SECURITY/SAME-SEX MARRAIGES

By Bill Quraishi

Candidate for United States Senator; Republican Party

This information is provided by the candidate
  • 40 MILLIONS AMERICANS ARE UNINSURED.

  • ELDERLY AMERICANS ARE WORRIED THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, THE MEDICAL BENEFITS WILL BE REDUCED AND THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED AMERICANS WILL RISE.

  • THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE PROGRAMS WOULD LOOK FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

  • SOCIAL SECURITY IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO SENIOR CITIZENS.
QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS IS ESSENTIAL.

  • Provide treatment to those diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer.

MEDICAL CARE

  • Favor adding prescription drug benefit to Medicare by providing more options to recipients and a greater choice of plans.

  • Expanding health coverage through medical saving ccounts.

  • Charging wealthier Medicare recipients more for coverage.

  • Strengthening tax incentives to small businesses that provide health coverage to employees.

  • Full tax deduction for self-employed and long term care.

  • Affordable health coverage for children and adults in low-to-middle income families.

SOCIAL SECURITY

  • Would segregate any surplus from Social Security Trust Fund in a lock box to assure funds could not be shifted to other programs.

  • Favor letting workers invest portion of Social Security payroll tax in private investments accounts.

  • Allow younger workers the option of investing majority of their payroll taxes in private investments.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGES

  • I was at the steps of the City of San Francisco Hall on Monday, Feb 23 and Tuesday Feb 24/04 for couple of hours displaying a sign "Marriage is between man and woman" and I am entitled to my opinion.

  • I understand Mayor Newsom is marrying gay people to uphold equal protection rights and promote respect, love and affection among the people.

  • I did not find this at all. In stead of engaging in a civil argument, I was disappointed to find that same-sex marriage supporters and some employees to be belligerent, insulting, jeering and were taking unauthorized pictures.

  • This was very unbecoming of people who want support and respect for their marriages from the majority.

  • It is a near-riot situation. They want to engage you in very hostile and angry discussions.
