Alabama's fifth congressional district has voted Democratic for the past 18 years, putting Bud Cramer, an admirable politician, in office.Cramer has finally stepped down to allow new blood into the position. His endorsement went to Parker Griffith, a doctor with an agenda for what else? Health care.
While his Republican opponent, Wayne Parker, recognized cracks in the current system, he offered tax breaks and deductions to allow health care recipients to purchase health care and have the freedom to choose which kind.
Griffith's plan is to make sure everyone has health care (though he fails to mention the "how " in this scenario) and, get this, he's supporting paying the tuition for med students who enter a specialty in need of doctors. A Democrat who gives handouts to people who will make hundreds of thousands of dollars annually! What kind of a Democrat does that? And, where's all the money going to come from to pay for insurance for 303,824,640 people? Well, Griffith better start thinking about the "how" because he's up to bat.
