US Elections: Democrats bet on health and education

US Elections: Democrats bet on health and education

As the United States Presidential elections are coming up in 2020, Democrats and Republicans have started sharing their ideas for the future of America.
One noticeable thing all Democratic candidates have in common is the strong focus their campaigns have on health and education. According to the latest national polls, all five Democrats have a real shot at winning next years’ Presidential elections. What is going to determine their success are the individual programs each of them develops.
Before each of the five starts even thinking about the elections, they will have to secure a party nomination. And in order to do that they will need to set their priorities straight. 

Health and education

According to their preliminary campaign goals, all five Democratic candidates are going to pay special attention to the health and education sectors. 
Lowering prescription drug prices has become one of the most famous presidential promises in the past few years. Nowadays, it has been beaten to the top by the pledge to end current President Donald Trumps’ incessant attacks and trade conflicts with China. 
Another significant point for all five Democrats is access to quality education. For them, one of the chief virtues of a nation is its people, and each of America’s kids needs to be able to go to school and receive a proper education. 
The educational system in the United States has suffered some severe blasts in the past several years. There is a constant need for more funding for schools, let alone schools with special education regimes. 
Not only that, but higher education in the country has become more of an expensive luxury. According to recent research, students in California, one of the most prominent US states, are facing immense struggles as they have to juggle part-time jobs in order to cover their living and school expenses. 
Health and education should indeed remain the top priority for presidential candidates, and the whole world is curious to see what each one of the Democrats is going to propose as specific measures in these sectors.
