Stangl says she's been disappointed by many of the Republican ideas on this issue. In fact, she says Rudy Guiliani and Mitt Romney "blew her off" when she approached them about it.

"Guiliani said to me that health care is good, everybody likes good health and health care is good -- some variation of that I've played over and over again in my mind, without giving me any specifics," she told CNN.

Stangl wants a universal health plan. She's decided to vote for Democratic Sen. Joe Biden, who plans to create a pool of private health plans similar to the ones federal workers have.

We really need to press our candidates and representatives on universal healthcare.
