Create Safeguards That Protect The Very People that Pay Directly Into The Social Security System. Limit Entitlement Programs that spend funds on non Contributors. Allow Any Remaining Balance Of Your Social Security Benefits To Go to your family.

Healthcare In The United States is a peculiar Business in so many different ways They are Both public and Private. They secure funding through Federal and State Funded Agencies, Insurance Companies and direct payments from the patients themselves not to mention private donation from an array of philanthropist. With that said the Healthcare is the only American Industry that does not List the price of its services upfront. I would start with making the Cost of Healthcare available to The patients and Insurance companies. Create Uniform pricing guides for Medical Treatments, Surgeries, Treatments and Medicines. Maintain Policies That ensure that patients would not be denied Emergency Medical Services and Treatments to save their lives.

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

1.Give African Americans Permanent Voting Rights. The Civil Rights Voting Act of 1964 was established to ensure that our Nations African American Citizens would have the right to participate in our Nations Democratic Process of Voting. As It Stand The Bill Has Never Been Finalized. This only applies to African Americans: Immigrants come from all over the world and they are Granted Full US Citizenship. However For Our Nations African Americans we are Still fighting the rights that were granted in 1870. 2. Increase The Minimum Wage to $15.00 Per Hour 3. End All Fines Associated with the ACA.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Systematic Racism Is A Threat To US Security Racism Caused by The Fair Housing Act: Policies Created By Congress Allow Banks to Redline and deny African American Citizens Loans To Build And Improve Their Communities. Racism Caused by the USDA That Denies African American Farmers Funding To Operate their Farms. Environmental Racism That Allows Manufacturers to Pollute the Air, Water and Soil in or near African American Communities That Are Causing Long Term Health Problems. Racism In Policing That Has Lead To Countless African American deaths at the hand of those sworn to Protect us. Racism In Judicial Bail, Bonding and Sentencing. These Issues Create A Huge Issue With Domestic Security. Racism In Pay Disparity Need to Raise Minimum Wage to $15.00 per Hour.
