What is being done with the billions of dollars in aid? What are the plans? When will we see results?
We are seriously underfunded as we speak. We do not cover 100 percent of the population falling below the poverty level in Puerto Rico in our Medicaid Program.
We will enrich this nation when the time comes, and we become the 51st state of the Union.
Definitely. That is what we are talking about mostly. It has economic development implications, quality of life implications, but at its heart this is a civil rights issue.
