Opinion research- Yang

Going to ask supporters of each major candidate (from my perspective), separately, to all answer the same questions. I'm honestly trying to get a fair perspective with the primaries around the corner.

Yang (please, I beg you, only answer if you are a Andrew Yang supporter):

As an epileptic and the father of a child with a rare disease, healthcare is incredibly important. What is Yang's current position on healthcare system and drug costs?

I'm also drowning in student loan debt. What is his position on the student loan debt crisis?

What is his position and plans to address climate change?

What are his plans to address costs of higher education and deal with the intellectual gap between our current workforce and the workforce we need?

What are his plans to deal with nations like Iran and Syria?

What are his plans to deal with the deplorable healthcare and training after separation from service for military vets?

Sincerely, thank you if you answer these questions.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Large corporations make billions of dollars on the sale of our personal information. Yang wants them to share that wealth with us vis a vis a monthly $1k payment for every adult.

In the interview I saw about this topic, he wasn't in favor of free college or student loan forgiveness, but pointed to this payment as a way that people could help themselves in that regard.

He's not my first choice, but I like his ideas and would gladly support him if he were the nominee.
