This past week was very similar to the on one previous do to the fact that my job revolves around the dispensing of patients immunization records. Upon getting a better feel for the Illinois Department of Public Health I started to understand some of the misconceptions that the public have the I-Care Program.

Sanders’ plan is to impalement a “single payer” plan which is a universal health care system where a “single payer” fund provides funding instead of private insurers. This plan sounds great in theory as Sanders claims in will save $6 trillion over ten…
