Maybe you could talk a little bit about some of your priorities if you're elected. Yeah, absolutely. So healthcare is one of my top priorities. Expanding Medicare to cover vision, dental and hearing. Both of my parents are aging and they get their dental work done in Mexico because it's cheaper to do there than it is in our own country. And so that's something I really am looking at, you know, wanting to change and, you know, waitressing and getting to know a lot of my coworkers. (03:13–03:24)

Asserts that dental work is cheaper in Mexico than in the United States.
