The issue that Sam and I will be focusing on is Domestic Policies: Women Healthcare for Barack Obama. -More than 19 million women in the United States don't have health insurance -Women get 25% of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. -Ovarian cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer-related death -More than five million women of childbearing age have high levels of toxic mercury in their blood -Heart disease is the leading cause of death These 5 facts all add up to one thing: Health issues. The country obviously has to focus on everyone's health, but we need to focus more on women in our country. If we do not act now, women and possibly millions of unborn/young children can and will be at risk of morbid illnesses and death. This information is reality and we need to open our eyes to the fact that we are putting our women, our children, our FUTURE at risk and we need to end this epidemic as soon as possible.

To fix this problem we could: 1. Make body check-ups required Body check-ups should be required so that women don't have to put off getting checked for diseases and other inflictions

2. Making Healthcare for women and children more affordable/free Making healcare affordable would definitely help so women and children could get the help they need without having to scrape up money to get checked out and medicines.

3. More appropriations for cure and treatment fund If we could just help out and spend our earned money to go to treatment funds, that could go out to help the women and children who have already been inflicted with harmful and fatal illnesses.
