Option 1: Briefly discuss your state’s laws regarding gun control and its impact on healthcare.

Option 2: Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue?
