McHenry County Blog

8th congressional district Republican candidate Kathy Salvi is posting her responses to the Chicago Tribune questionnaire on her blog. I shall also post them here.

After a short introduction, Salvi tackles the health question:
Earlier this week, I was joined by three of my fellow candidates vying for the Republican nomination in Illinois' 8th Congressional District at the Chicago Tribune's Editorial Board interview. Chicago Tribune writer Susan Kuczka wrote an article in yesterday's paper regarding the event if you are interested.

In addition to the interview, the Tribune asked each of us to complete a short questionnaire regarding some of the issues facing the families of our district, state, and nation. I thought it might be of interest to the voters to not only see which questions the Tribune asked but also how I answered. Therefore, today and for the next several days, I will post one question along with my answer until we get through the questionnaire.

Question #1

Health Care costs continue to outpace general inflation and millions of Americans go without health insurance, either by choice or out of necessity. How should Congress address the issue of health care access and affordability?
