Supporters gathered around the porch of Dennis Jones' Farms near Bath to get a glimpse of Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Thursday.
One of the topics that bubbled to the top of the conversation was the idea of universal healthcare.
"If we don't do it, we're gonna have more and more uninsured people because everybody who has insurance, you pay a hidden tax for people who don't," said Clinton.
Clinton says that tax amounts to about $900 for the average family.
Instead, Clinton would like to see the same plan that now insures federal workers, be available to any American who wants it.
"I believe we need a plan that's not going to leave anybody out," said Clinton.
Clinton also talked about looking after the health of America's veterans.
"There is no doubt that we have tens of thousands of our young men and women coming back with wounds both visible and invisible," said Clinton.
Clinton says she would help to fully fund the veterans administration, claiming that right now it's a system that doesn't have enough resources.
"We're spending so much money and we can't even provide those basic services? That's just shameful," said Clinton.
