Election 2008: Health Care

Four working-age West Virginians die each week due to lack of health insurance.

That doesn't include all the children and young adults who don't have health insurance. The real number of people in West Virginia who die from lack of health insurance or inadquate insurance coverage is higher. Are you next?

We need to do something about this NOW! Make a difference by voting for the candidate that you believe will end death by lack of health insurance in West Virginia.
