HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C

When the vaccine has been thoroughly proven to do what it is supposed to do and then there should be opt out provisions for individuals.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. It is the only democratic government in that area of the world. The geo political importance of Israel cannot be overstated.

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Racism of some form has been around since the beginning of man kind. It is on both sides of the isle and I do not think it will ever be any different. We must continue to expose and fight racists whenever we can to minimize its influence in society.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
