What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C - with private healthcare being available to those who can afford it. oftentimes circumstances may prove to be unfortunate for some either for health reasons or other reasons. Having a temporary safety net is the humane thing to do but should not be sustained for life - Medicare being the exception

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
If they follow the department policy. However, if they don't, they should be punished as any other citizen.

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Only the restrictions that are already in place.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Supports qualified immunity for officers acting within department policy and punishment for officers who do not follow department policy.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
