We will thank you for your continued support of the Affordable Care act. Our family has extensive medical needs, and we rely, we rely on the preexisting conditions and no lifetime cap coverage provisions that the a. C. A. Provides. Both of our sons have Serious Health issues. Harrisons developmentally impaired, has a rare genetic disorder, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, and a rare form of intractable epilepsy, characterized by multiple uncontrolled daily seizures.

I will assist the candidates in adhering to those time limits with the help of a series of lights visible to both. Under their rules, the candidates are not allowed to question each other directly. I will ask the questions. There are no limitations on the subjects. The order for everything tonight was determined by coin toss. Now, to the Opening Statements and to president clinton.
