AT-COST medication , no deductibles, no copays and unlimited visits. This can go nationwide with SWFL leading the way. I have a background in medical research from the University of Michigan I can accomplish this. This could be non government run, FREE healthcare for all or government run if we take the Medicaid fund to the Direct Patient Care fund. It brings back our community doctors which are also urgent cares and you can keep private insurance and Medicare (which has its own fund)

The Wording of our Republican Platform:2. Enforce Immigration Laws Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry and overstaying Visas, and reinstate “Remain in Mexico” and other Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration to historic lows in President Trump’s first term. We will also invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members from the United States, ending the scourge of Illegal Alien gang violence once and for all. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries immediately.

Policy of the Trump administration and halt all releases of Illegal Aliens into the interior. We will complete the Border Wall, shift massive portions of Federal Law Enforcement to Immigration Enforcement, and use advanced technology to monitor and secure the Border. We will use all resources needed to stop the Invasion—including moving thousands of Troops currently stationed overseas to our own Southern Border. We will deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our Region—boarding and inspecting ships to look for fentanyl and fentanyl precursors. Before we defend the Borders of Foreign Countries, we must first secure the Border of our Country.

It's prompted by those in Congress that are not keeping their oath of office, yet constituents continuously vote for them. An example is the Constitution protects us from invasion, yet Democrats let millions invade us, refuse a wall and refuse federal agents to remove illegal invaders who will NEVER be a citizen and commit crimes and murders. One recently here in Fort Myers! Continue to revoke visas.
