First, we need to define the term abortion more clearly. Should separation of the fetus from mother be necessary, the reason should be noted and not combined to generate rebuttals. Separation should ONLY occur when the life of either is medically necessary to SAVE the life of either. Otherwise, NO separation until the life of the child can be sustained. All life is precious!

First, stop dipping into it for any whim that comes along. Use it only for its purpose. Second, as a healthcare provider, it's obvious that addressing efficiencies is the beginning of sustaining benefits. We must address the prescription drug component to any healthcare bill with someone that understands how any legislation will impact the patients at the pharmacy counters, which I am qualified to do. Deflating the idea that the federal government as a buyer is price-fixing by negotiating is a must. Language should be used that provides government contracts most favorite nation relationships. Also, allowing any willing provider status to provide services defined within that provider's scope of practice is also a must. Patient responsibility is key. We must all be good stewards of our Social Security program. We must eliminate waste, which is the toughest of all because it requires acceptance of tough programs that removes benefits when compliance is a problem.

Political funding to foreign aid and social welfare groups like Planned Parenthood that redirect taxpayer funds back to the Democrat party. Stop spending that weaponizes political forces that go after political opposition without certain cause in a precarious manner. Stop waste and abuse of laws that have been an overreach of control in our healthcare system.

Only caps on student loan interest rates and repayment tax benefits to deduct expenses to offset gross income should be considered. The later would encourage aggressive student loan repayments by students and others to cause a reduction in debt and stimulate the economy.

Just what the first amendment to the US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The part known as the "establishment clause" forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. In this definition of church, the church is not a building, but rather the people who meet together who may want to take control of the state. What it does NOT mean is that we remove any trace of God or historical religious artifacts of God that our forefathers established.

The Affordable HC Act proved that biting off more than one can chew doesn't work. Through a multistep process, coverage can be addressed at the same time. For all processes, the class we are mainly talking about is the working-class. The poor are covered, and the rich can afford it. Here's how: 1st Preventative healthcare should be available to all consisting of an annual physical with lab work and maintenance drugs at "most favorite nation pricing", which I have a unique skill set to do as a Doctor of Pharmacy. These things can be done at little to no cost to the government using an economy of scale model for about $100 per life covered per year for all that choose. Healthcare is a national issue and should have national access. Our healthcare laws disenfranchise patients and providers in every industry. We must address efficiencies before we can make HC affordable

Strongly Agree

First, we must continue to stand firm with strength militarily with zero tolerance to U.S. or allied attacks. Then make well known a paradigm shift has occurred for the intellectual concerns. Divide the errors of the past and conquer issues that support the "global" Islamic "State" and global hatred they have for us. The reason there is a global component is due to the past error of mapping in the Middle-East without consideration given to the mixing religious groups within those European defined borders. The single commonality they share is the unnatural feeling of their modern state boundaries. Whether or not they do anything to change their borders is irrelevant to the openness by the U.S. Next, encourage wholeheartedly the self-defining of state for themselves within their own borders. While making known its positions on issues, the U.S. removes the blame opportunity that feeds their hatred. I believe the U.S. wants as little as possible to do with Islam.

Only those immigrants who apply and are accepted to contribute to our country should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. The OPEN Border policies are watering down our rights and freedoms by allowing more illegal immigrant dependents to illegally enter our country. Our electoral representation is being decreased this very year to sanctuary states. We need to BUILD THE WALL! Support ICE, and End Sanctuary cities and states. Once again, no sovereign nation can remain so without secure borders. A demonstrated belief in our way of life and support of our Constitution is a must.

God is the author of life, the designer, and the creator. I am a sinner saved by Grace through the Baptism of the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ. I freely was Baptised by water as a public statement to my accepting Christ as my Savior. I die daily in prayer and rely on the convictions of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me.

Please visit my website at CopeTN2020.com, FB @RoyDaleCope, and other social media to study them. Search all of my surveys online from this website to isidewith.com profile, my NRA-pPVF, my national Right to Life questionnaire response, Ballotpedia, Gun Owners of America, and my oaths of military and uniform services to defend our Constitution, which NEVER Expires. I believe the federal government should help people when they are suffering at no fault of their own such as the COVID-19 lockdown. It is not the government's responsibility to make sure everyone has a livable income, but provide the people available certain infrastructure so those with the desire and motivation to utilize such may do so. It is not the government's responsibility to provide healthcare, but it should do all that it can to make it as accessible and as affordable as possible with as level an opportunity as possible.

NO!

Each state should be held accountable for their physical affairs. Red states should not bail out liberal sanctuary states. We need to get back to where employers and groups can contribute to health insurance that gives working-class people a chance. TN deserves a Senator that is not hogtied to the political elites in Washington. My campaign slogan is "The Courage to Fight for TN, The Spine to Stand with US." I am a Doctor of Pharmacy with a demonstrated ability to learn. I am also a former Concrete Contractor, so I know what both kinds of hard work feels like. I have the determination to fight night and day. I could be doing something easier, but I chose to fight once again for our country. This is my way of giving back, and I am sick in tired of the establishment not getting anything done. If I can't do this, No working-class citizen can!

Strongly Agree

The 2nd Amendment SHALL NOT be INFRINGED UPON, PERIOD! Enforce the laws we now have. I believe strictly on a VOLUNTEER BASES ONLY, however, that we could strengthen our 2nd's right and move in the right direction on protecting the public from misuse. We simply make an option for citizens to use the current FBI's NICS background check system before making a private party sale then register the transaction afterward if the seller wants. Also, eliminate soft target opportunities with gun carriers.

First is a Preventative Healthcare program for all. It gets us started with initial affordable healthcare access for the working-class without insurance while combing through all the inefficient healthcare laws. This is different from the pack-everything-in-it bill. Second, a pharmacy benefit package that streamlines efficiencies and that stops frivolous lawsuits by states against pharmacies and wholesalers and that improves PBM transparency and includes a national Narxcare platform that deals with pharmacy opioid processing. Third, no sovereign nation can remain so without secure borders. Our borders must become secure. We must build the wall and encourage legal immigration to reduce the economic devastation and voter fraud caused by illegal immigration. 4th Propose Term limits

Overall, no. However, the greatest threat to our rights and liberties is the Democrat Party! And they will sell out to the likes of radical ideologies like "Reparations" at the expense of the working-class people. There has never been a greater threat to our country than the auto-immune disease we have come to know as the Democrat Party.
