Well first of all we don’t have a health care system in this country. Hopefully that’s one of the things that will happen with the new president. When you talk to small businesses, large businesses, people that have their own business, they all agree, most of the people I talk to agree, that we really do need a healthcare system in this country. Hopefully that will be started on this next year, and we can get it accomplished, but its gonna take a little while to make it happen. Reporter: What about the whole question of cost, which your Republican colleagues will definitely bring up?

Well as someone who had a family situation where my dad did not have health insurance, I had to drop out of college and go to work; I have a strong personal opinion that we should mandate some sort of health coverage, but I’d like it private with choice. I think right now we really have some of that, but I think some folks without health insurance end up using the system, maybe not paying for the system. But everybody should have access to health care in this country.

WHY is it acceptable to put our country in trillion dollar debt for war,but it is unacceptable to borrow a few billion to provide free healthcare for all citizens? Our national system's are broken, why not fix America first?

The first and foremost role of the federal government is to provide for the national defense. And that’s what we’re doing in Iraq. I think the caller was absolutely right saying we need the troops to come home as soon as possible, but we need to do it in a responsible way. The December 08 change in mission is right in line of what the Iraq study group recommended from more of a combat to a support role. If we immediately withdraw, there would be total chaos, the Middle East would be a fireball, it’s not a problem you can run away from.
