Considering that number one and number three are related, and number two is part of the process deciding both (either directly or through the people we elect to represent us).

You can get healthcare in this country even if you don't have insurance. It's actually a little cheaper than going through an insurance company. I have insurance for life from a previous job. My son has no insurance but he does have a payment service he uses for paying his medical bills (the doctor sends the charges to the service, he gets billed in monthly payments). We have had the exact same tests run by the exact same doctor at the exact same time. His test cost less than half what mine cost because there was no insurance company to deal with. Hospitals also have a fund for people who don't have insurance to help them pay their bills. Sometimes they even have billing services to help. Anyone who thinks they have no access to medical care here has never tried to find out just what is available to them.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Voting and gun ownership are rights. Healthcare was fine until ObamaLama came up with his socialist plan that screwed everyone. If you want to discuss the real issues you can start with the outrageous costs of medical care not medical insurance. I have hospital invoices from surgery and 1 tylenol was billed at $1500, a surgical staple $1100 each, then the surgeon, anesthetist, mri reader and the list goes on all get billed separately. So people should be attacking the insanity of Dr's seeing you for 2 minutes so that they can overbook appointments and the average bill to see a Dr for 2 minutes is about $90 - $150. Labs and blood work cost extra. Attack the medical PAC's that influence Washington, Attack the drug companies raping people with prices 5000% higher than production costs of the drug. btw Our elected officials get taxpayer provided 1st class healthcare coverage because they know ACA they forced on us sucks.

Republicans have made efforts in recent years to reduce the amount of polling stations in particular in regions with many minorities, among many other things they do to make voting more difficult.

This year, we are literally voting for our lives. The office of prez is up for grabs as well as the Senate and House. Donald Trump* is our current president. Some people illogically adore and worship him, unquestionably. Others, like myself, are disgusted by his use of the gov't coffers as his own personal slush fund, the con jobs, the lying, the racism and xenophobia. We are also very discouraged about his handling of the Corona Virus. He has no plan except for a vaccine in an unknown number of years. Mr. Biden was President Obama's Vice President. He knows how to deal with politicians on the other side of the aisle, instead of arguing with them. He has class, dignity and intelligence, which we are sorely lacking in the US right now. So when we say vote blue we want the dems to win (Mr. Biden's party), red is the republican party who have abdicated their responsibility to the country. Choosing instead the desire for power and money.

Yes, it is only one polling center for loads of people. In TX the Republican Governor decreed there only be one drop box for mail-in ballots per county. Some counties are over 1,500 square miles (over 4500 sq km).

LOL, under an article with primary sources showing how difficult voting is in places with reduced polling locations, D Bailey asks for proof sources. Who are we gonna believe, him or our lying eyes?

@John Edgar Werner Philips your reply is a complete fraud and grossly inaccurate. The individual States control the number and location of polling stations. Your ignorance is just mind boggling that you would even think let alone believe the BS you post. btw Please produce some proof sources that support your ignorant comments since voting is hardly difficult. Unless getting off your lazy butt and driving to polling stations which are always located close to the address you used when you registered.

It's 1 drop off mail location per county. Harris county in Texas (which includes Houston) has nearly 8 million people. However, there are hundreds of early voting locations and anyone can vote at any location state wise until election day. On election day, you must vote at your registered location which could have a voter log of 10,000+ voters. Also, many states are refusing to count ballots from mail in voting after election day. The news is reporting that if you plan to vote by mail, it must have been mailed today to get in on time or your vote doesn't count. But apparently America is home of the free LMAO

In Texas they limit mail in voting to people over 65 or disabled. I was able to vote by mail this year because I am disabled. My husband dropped off my ballot for me when he voted and it only took him about 30 minutes and most of that was trying to get the poll workers to understand that he was dropping off my ballot and wanted to vote himself. They kept telling him he couldn't vote twice. I've voted in every election since I've been eligible to vote and it's never taken more tha 10 minutes. I have major respect for anyone who waited hours in line.

It's unbelievable because jaybird3939 is posting pure BS. Not a single fact in his post.

Sweetie, not talking about polling stations. I'm talking about drop off ballot boxes. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a proclamation Thursday limiting the amount of drop-off locations for mail-in ballots to one site per county. Harris County is the largest by population with 3.8 million residents. On to Georgia: In 2011, Georgia Republicans gained full control of redistricting for the first time and immediately began gerrymandering Democrats out of power. Ms. Abrams, a black woman, lost the race to Kemp, who was Secretary of State at the time Abrams had alleged throughout the campaign that Kemp, who stepped down as secretary of state after the election, had been working to disenfranchise minority voters, deny or delay new registrations and purge voting rolls (which he did). So, I believe you owe me an apology. Secondly, I would not do your research for you, but since you accused me of being ignorant, a liar, and a fraud, I thought I would show you how the real world is.
