The Affordable Care Act is closing the gap
in prescription drug coverage, known as the “doughnut hole.”
Before Obama took office senior citizens
were paying thousands of dollars
out of their own pocket. Now, by 2020,
the hole will be closed.

Florida has some of the
highest immigration rates, especially among
Cubans and Latinos.
President Obama passed the DREAM Act,
which Romney has pledged to veto. We
are for keeping families
together and letting non-threatening immigrants stay, while
enforcing resources on
those who endanger our
country.
