  • Despite Georgia voting for healthcare, I am extremely happy that Poverty won. 

    If Health Care had won, it would have been my 3rd health care related topic in my 8 years of debate. That's a little to repetitive.

    Poverty is an extremely large issue that the high school debate community should look at.
