d the quality of life would just be better. One would agree with Mr. Theobald when it comes to a guaranteed income.

The US is the only industrialized nation without a national guarantee of health care for all.

(www.u2k.org) There are children, African Americans, Hispanics and people with disabilities that are disproportionately uninsured. Three out of five seniors do not have prescription drug coverage necessary for basic health and wellness. The solution is a health care system that is accessible to everyone.

Most parents that are on welfare or have been out of the job force for a while cannot afford childcare because of the wages they are being offered. Those parents are forced to stay home and live off the government because they cannot afford childcare. The same could be said for a young mother trying to get ahead, maybe attending school. There are some programs out there now that help low-income parents with the costs of childcare. But who determines what low income is. Tell it to a single mother of 3 attending school and working full time making 13 dollars an hour. After paying all the bills, the rent, the car note not to mention insurance and groceries. How is that mother going to get ahead, especially when the government say...
