Top three priorities if elected:

. Expand Medicare to include a prescription drug benefit that we now know can be modeled after our Maine Rx law.

. Expand Medicare by lowering the age from 65 to 55 and help pay for it with a sliding-scale buy-in for those uninsured and underinsured in this lower age category.

. We want and need to continue to foster the spirit of innovation in all the state legislatures’ laboratories of democracy.
