1. What was your opinion before the debate? I believe that there should be some sort of universal health care coverage for everyone but there should also be doctors that will be there for people who can afford the care and only the ones that can afford care will pay. 2. Did your opinion change? Why or why not? no it did not. I have always felt this way about healthcare. when I wasn’t as well off as I am today, I had several medical issues that I couldn’t get taken care of because I didn’t have insurance and I didn’t make little enough to get free coverage. The middle class to upper middle class is screwed honestly.
