Health Care Discussions at the DNC
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) and the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) are a great way to hear what current politicians and advocates, as well as presidential hopefuls, have to say about health care. Now, not having cable, I have only been able to watch DNC highlights that are broadcast on my local channels and what I have time to locate online. So last night I was able to watch Michelle Obama’s speech online as well as Senator Hillary Clinton’s speech live on TV.
I’ll post both videos of both of the speeches below (available on MSNBC), as well as links to the transcripts if you’re interested. Health care highlights include Michelle Obama stating that Senator Barack Obama has fought and will fight to ensure that veterans receive mental health care in addition to medical care. If you read one of my first posts about PTSD among vets, you’ll know how glad I was to hear that! Senator Clinton reiterated her commitment to quality, affordable, universal health care and stressed that it’s Senator Obama’s commitment to the same things that in part garners her endorsement.
As I mentioned, there were many other speeches given that no doubt discussed health care, but these are two of the headliner speeches given. Feel free to watch or read their speeches and post your thoughts!
