September 3, 2004--Cedar Rapids Heinz Kerry Hammers Healthcare
The Democrats chose a different plan of attack to compete with the Bush rally in Cedar Rapids. Teresa Heinz Kerry met with about half a dozen people at the home of Linn County Supervisor Linda Langston. The small group talked about their concerns with the nation's healthcare system.
Topping Heinz Kerry's list of concerns are restricted coverage for low-income people, the growing cost for prescription drugs, and adequate healthcare for childern. She says healthcare is one of the most important issues in this election.
"We can not have healthcare becoming a double whammy on people's lives, where they not only lose a job but they lose their protection." Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Senator John Kerry.
She also says Americans should be able to buy prescription drugs from Canada and other nations because of the outrageous prices here in the U.S.
"The pharmacy benefits managers, all of which are not the friends of people. They have no risk capital. They make huge profits just by buying and selling drugs to hospitals, to pharmacies, and to others. " Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Senator John Kerry.
Teresa Heinz Kerry will be touring Iowa today and tomorrow making campaign stops in Des Moines, Davenport, and Mason City.
