Embed America: Transportation, the invisible pocketbook issue:

Our Embed America election series features voters from across the country describing the issues important to them and their community. In Durango, Colorado, officials have approved an ambitious transportation plan that would put a bus stop within a fifteen minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city.

Embed America: A ‘His and Hers’ health care dilemma:

CNN Radio reporters traveled cross-country to get a look at the 2012 election from the ground up, visiting communities along the way to explore what issues are important to Americans and how voters feel about their country’s future.

She recently remarried and her health expenses have only gone up as a result. For our Embed America series, CNN’s John Sepulvado and Jonathan Binder take a look at how the health care debate filters down to people like Copeland and how it shapes the way she’ll vote in November.
