�� The Presidential Primary Election takes place Tuesday, June 7th from 7am to 8pm. Personally delivered ballots must be delivered by close of polls on June 7th. Mailed ballots are to be postmarked on or before June 7th and received by the County Elections Ofﬁce no later than June 10th. For voter registration information visit www.registertovote.ca.gov

Matt Kokkonen: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? Obama’s mandatory voting reminds me of the results of Voting in communist Russia where the party hand-picked candidates always won with 99% of the votes. Freedom to vote does not mean compulsion to vote. At times people choose not to vote because they do not favor any of the candidates. That is their right. Mandating any political activity is the opposite of freedom. It is slavery. Paradoxically, the individual mandate in Obamacare is just as wrong, and Chief Justice Roberts knew it. That is why he pulled a rabbit out of the hat and called Obamacare a tax.

What is your position on universal health care? I oppose universal health care since it is monopoly regarding the most private and personal matter of ours, namely the health care of our bodies and minds. Even from an economic perspective we know that private enterprise can deliver better goods at a better price on a timely basis than the government. I have been involved with thousands of medical insurance policies for clients in my 40 year insurance and ﬁnancial services career and am utterly frustrated by the ineptitude of the California Exchange in administering Obamacare insurance policies.

Steve Isakson: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? While I very much encourage EVERYONE to vote, I do not believe making it mandatory will be effective. If someone does not want to vote, they are not likely to make an informed decision. They might just mark the name at the top of the ballot and send it back, skewing the results incorrectly. Trying to achieve universal voting is great; Forcing someone to ﬁll out a form I do not believe would be useful. Now, one of the reasons for suggesting mandatory voting is to encourage groups of people (minorities) that are underrepresented (and in some cases discouraged from voting) to get out and vote. Advertising and enforcement of antidiscrimination laws is a must in these cases. But I am less clear that mandatory voting would solve these problems. However, I am open on this. If there is evidence that the above problem is alleviated, please write me.

What is your position on universal health care? The ACA is a step towards universal health care as it makes health insurance a requirement. Even before that, care in the emergency room was a requirement that could not be denied. Both are good steps in the right direction. But the biggest remaining problem surrounds the affordability of these solutions. The ACA is particularly known for being not affordable for many. I believe some of the problem comes from not being able to purchase insurance or pharmaceuticals from out of state and the insurance companies having a “captive audience.” I believe a single payer system as well as negotiated pharmacy pricing might get us closer to our needs.

Benjamin Lucas: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? I feel you cannot mandate a solution to voting equality. I don’t support it.

What is your position on universal health care? I believe in universal health care. However, there is a problem with our current system that doesn’t address the number of doctors that don’t accept Obamacare and the lack of access to hospitals and clinics both in the rural and inner city communities.

William “Bill” Ostrander: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? I do not support a mandatory voting law. The aim of greater participation in our representative democracy is a noble ambition, but mandatory voting is not the ﬁrst or best answer and is contrary to most American’s sense of independence. I believe that the apathy felt by so many Americans stems from the very real feeling of disenfranchisement. The empirical facts are that money is the biggest inﬂuence of legislative outcomes and cronyism prevents the system from change. Those truths are what discourage voters and voter turnout. We would be better off creating a system of public funding for campaigns, making Election Day a holiday, removing Republican-led voter restrictions, enact a national “motor voter” law that registers voters when they obtain driver’s licenses, encourage more voting by mail, and make our political discourse more honest about community interests instead of the monetary interests inherent in fundraising. All of us, including the media, need to stop supporting career politicians and instead encourage fresh faces in our governance

What is your position on universal health care? Universal health care is a must. Creating a single payer health care system is the most economical for both individuals and businesses, the most fair to those victims afﬂicted with life altering maladies, and the most ethical means of achieving our public health and personal health outcomes at the level of our country’s medical capabilities. Having a health care safety net is no different than a police force, a ﬁre department, or public schools – it’s in the best of our community interests. Medi-care works and has a much lower implementation cost than private health care. It should be expanded to all citizens.

Justin Fareed: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? Voting in America is a right and privilege that is denied to many around the world, which is why every United States citizen should exercise their right to vote in every election that takes place. However, the American people should have the right to decide whether or not to participate. It should not be mandated by the federal government.

What is your position on universal health care? Every American deserves access to quality health care at fair and competitive prices. The broken promises of Obamacare are an example of what happens when big government unilaterally tries to ﬁx a problem. Families and businesses are being forced to pay more for less coverage, many physicians and insurance companies have opted out of the system, and the promise of keeping your doctor and your insurance has vanished. I will work towards health care reform that protects patient choice, keeps costs manageable, and gives everyone the ability to acquire the health care they need and the health insurance they want. I support a market-based health care system that promotes competition, innovation and patient choice. It is only through a system like this that the best quality of health care can be offered at the lowest possible costs.

A Voice for the People?

��

Helene Schneider: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? I believe ﬁrmly in civic engagement and encouraging voters to make their voices heard. We must focus on increasing our voter turnout by making voting a more inclusive and simple process. Simplifying and streamlining our voting procedures are necessary to increasing voter turnout. We need to improve the technology at our polling places which will lead to ease and decrease line wait. Additionally, having voting locations open for extended hours in order for working families to be able to vote before and after work/school can increase voter turnout. We must also work to register more eligible individuals to vote. Making online registration easier as well as available in more locations can greatly increase voter turnout. I am also a great supporter of universal vote by mail. In Congress, I will work to incentivize voting and eliminate provisions that prevent people from voting.

What is your position on universal health care? While I support the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and believe it’s lightyears ahead of our previously broken health care system— the fact is that it’s far from perfect. Still too many Americans go without health care and the new system has some ﬂaws that need to be worked out. Congress should work to ﬁnd better ways to lower prescription drug costs. Ultimately, I believe America should get to a universal health care system where everyone is covered. In Congress, I plan to work hard to improve the ACA by increasing access to quality health care for all Americans.

Salud Carbajal: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? Voter participation is essential to ensure our elected ofﬁcials serve in the interest of our Central Coast communities. Voting is our most basic constitutional right and I encourage voters in California to take full advantage of their right to vote during this election cycle. Congress must pass laws that make our voting system easier to access, not deny people their right. If elected, I will work to expand voting rights for all citizens.

What is your position on universal health care? Everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health insurance. We must continue to build on the progress made by the Affordable Care Act. We cannot go back to the old days when insurance companies could drop you if you got sick, or refuse to cover you if you had a pre-existing condition. However, we have to make sure that health care remains affordable and I will focus on making sure the Affordable Care Act works for everyone.

John Uebersax: President Obama has recently advocated for a mandatory voting law. Is this something you would be in support of? Why or why not? If either party thought they’d gain, they’d force dogs and cats to vote. The real issue is that Democrat and Republican candidates today are so wretched that nobody wants to vote. People feel powerless to affect government. I’m running to give people a way to do something meaningful with their vote. A vote for me is a vote against things like wars for oil, economic imperialism, illegal drone strikes that kill civilians, and partisan gridlock on domestic problems. People need to walk away from the tyrannical two-party system that answers to Wall Street, not citizens. As an independent, I give them a way to do that.

What is your position on universal health care? Health care is an important issue, but not as important as US wars and militarism. Today’s health care system is a creation of corporations and greedy financial institutions, not human compassion. We can’t let the appropriate goal of “universal health care” be a pretext for creating an increasingly bureaucratic, profit-driven machine that overemphasizes costly and unnecessary treatments that are as likely to hurt as help patients. With 30 years’ experience in the health field, I know that the solution is to focus more on preventing than treating disease, and to create an improved health care culture that promotes greater communication between patients and providers, better decisions, and fewer errors. Experts agree that with steps like these we can cut health care costs in half, making it more available and more affordable for everyone. The topic has become too politicized.
