Specifically, people are worried about:

Quality of health care
![Page 19: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Nearly 2/3 of voters favor providing access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans….
![Page 21: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

government”
or

“Do you favor or oppose providing access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans……”

so….
the economic crisis hasn’t suppressed
that feeling….
and may have even strengthened it
![Page 25: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The economic crisis presents some
opportunities for us
![Page 26: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

When the crisis is big enough,
we figure out how to deal
with it
![Page 27: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The debate over government’s role
in the economy and in protecting people
from economic forces and greed
is over
![Page 28: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The question now is
how the government
is involved and
what does it do?
![Page 29: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
In both the financial and the health care worlds, the problem lies in the fact that
the people who profit off the system are also the people running the system
![Page 30: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The overall economy will be a
big and lingering issue at the federal level
![Page 31: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
health care can and needs to be addressed
at the state level
![Page 32: Why We Will Win In 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052621/557c0e0dd8b42ae7748b4c9c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
