Health care/stem cell

Couric_t.jpgIt should come as no surprise to anyone that the issues of health care, in general, and stem cell research funding, specifically, are of particular importance to me. These issues sat as a cornerstone of my campaign platform. Especially since the presidential veto of stem cell research funding expansion in July of 2006, I believe that it is now incumbent upon state legislatures to help promote this research at the state level. I held, and continue to hold, that belief for New York State. Stem cell research is ethical and life-embracing in every way, and can potentially benefit every single one of our lives. It is that important.

Stem cell research is one component of a broader health-care focus. As I know and understand far too well the role that progressive and quality health care plays in so many lives, it is a cause and a responsibility to fight for. Increasing access to health care coverage, promoting the presence of community-based care, and protecting our friends and family members as they become seniors, are all achievements I look forward to seeing transpire.
