I spent twenty years feeding sailors on a sub. You learn fast that a man can't fight on an empty stomach, and a family can't build a life on an empty paycheck. Wages, healthcare, fair housing for working folks in Missouri. That's it. Not complicated. People work hard, they should be able to live on it. When they can't, something's broken, and somebody better fix it.
Rural hospitals are closing. People drive an hour to bleed in a parking lot. That's the priority, local control, so communities decide how to keep their doors open instead of waiting on some distant board to pull the plug.
I'd push state funding tied to local oversight boards, not corporate chains. Cut the red tape blocking community takeovers.
