Answer from Mervin Evans:
Rebuilding America's infrastructure + roads, bridges, waste water treatment, mass transit and high-speed light-rail, would improve our quality of life, create millions of good paying jobs, and strengthen our economy. We can pay for this by ending the Bush tax cuts and loopholes for the rich, and by pulling back our military footprint in countries like Japan that pose no threat to us whatsoever.
Answer from Mervin Evans:
Don't turn Medicare into a voucher system for insurance companies, which will mean higher costs and less treatment. Instead, focus on ending massive fraud and abuse in states like Michigan and Florida. Integrate seamless electronic transfer between payers and providers to ensure the validity of all claims and protect patient information. Require the government to negotiate on behalf of the American people to lower pharmaceutical prices under Medicare Part D.
Answer from Mervin Evans:
The environment, our air, lakes, rivers and forests, are crucial to our 37th district economy. The degradation of our air and water, along with global warming, threaten the very survival of our species here on mother earth. We must protect the environment in order to preserve our way of life and our tourism industry.
Answer from Mervin Evans:
Glenda the baby gorilla at the Los Angeles Zoo is getting better care than the veterans at the VA Wadsworth Medical Center-Westwood.
Every part of the Medical Center appears to be in crisis!
40% Cutbacks can not and will not enhance the quality of care we expect from one of the finest medical service providers in the world.
The President can not lead with Sound Bites. There is No Excuse or anyone else to blame.
Thank You.
