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.

We have seen this first hand in ND with the attempt by the CCP to purchase land within miles of a military site, the Grandforks Airforce Base.
