I know someone and I bet every one of you knows a neighbor or family member who can’t afford the cost of health care. It’s time to do something about this problem. That’s why I’m voting for John Baldacci for governor.

It doesn’t matter whether you work at a small or large business, or are retired or unemployed. John is the only candidate who will make sure everyone in Maine has access to reliable, affordable health care. Other politicians like to talk about the problem, but John will solve it.

John will create a nonprofit health insurer that enables Maine to get volume discounts for health care. This will provide comprehensive, affordable health insurance for everyone.

I encourage all of you to vote for John Baldacci on Nov. 5.
