Lower Health Care Costs on behalf of the American People. We promised in advance of november, 2018, that were we given the chance to serve in the majority, we would focus like a laser beam on driving down the high costs of lifesaving Prescription Drugs.

Turkey is surrounded by water on three sides the mediterranean sea, the black sea and the aegean and then in the east, its mountainous and rugged, and all that influences the climate in very different ways. It is a country that is so rich in natural diversity, its sweeping pine forests are one of its key assets. But as temperatures rise, these forests are being destroyed by wildfires that are getting ever more intense.
