| Info | Biography of Dr. F. Michael Vasovski
Dr. Mike Vasovski has begun an additional career. On December 2nd, 2008 the Federal Election Commission received from him the forms that are required by law to state publicly that he is a candidate for the United States Congress where he hopes to represent the people of South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District.
Upon graduating from Texas A&M University in 1976 and The University of North Texas's College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1981, Vasovski served in the United States Army's Medical Corp until 1987 achieving the rank of Captain. He entered the military voluntarily and without first receiving a health scholarship. His duties included service at the Wiesbaden Air Force hospital from 1982 to 1984 where he was privileged to assist in the surgical care of U.S. Marines who were injured in the terrorist bombings of their barracks in Beirut in October of 1983.
Military service was something that Dr. Vasovski grew up with. His father was a 26 year veteran of the United States Air Force with service in the Korean War and Vietnam. Military family life does not permit a family to stay long enough in one place to lay down permanent roots. Therefore when asked "where are you from", his answer would have to be, "all over." Born in Pres Quile, Maine, he has lived in 6 states, and up until 1981, called Texas home. He may not have been born in South Carolina, but as the phrase goes, "he got here as soon as he could".
Upon receiving an Honorable Discharge from the Army, Dr. Vasovski entered private general medical practice in Aiken, South Carolina in 1988 and has continued to this day serving the people of Aiken and the surrounding counties. As a solo practitioner, he is also a small business owner and knows full well the burdens placed on them, not the least of which is the current tax system. Being the only physician in his practice has precluded him seeking elected public office and service until such time that family life would permit. That time has come.
Personal responsibility is a conservative value that Dr. Vasovski believes in strongly. This he has seen daily in clinical practice in a health care system that Vasovski has described as "wonderful, not perfect, but truly wonderful". The fact has been quoted often, that in spite of spending more than any other country on health care; the United States does not lead in statistics like life expectancy and infant mortality. This is due, at least in part, to the individual freedoms Americans enjoy and those include lifestyle choices that may not be the best for one's health, like smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy.
Vasovski's desire to seek a high public office is grounded also in other conservative values like the defense of our civil liberties granted in the Constitution that have recently come under attack. During college he was a member of the skeet shooting team at Texas A&M and he believes that Americans should continue to enjoy and benefit from our right to keep and bear arms for whatever legal purpose they desire, according to the Second Amendment.
Being active in the community has always been part of Vasovski's life and he was one of the original founders of the Free Medical Clinic of Aiken. He and Cindy, his wife of 31 years, continue to volunteer there where needy people can partake of health care that is provided free of charges for professional services and generated by and from the voluntary efforts of a large staff of caring, generous and compassionate citizens of Aiken. Dr. Vasovski also volunteered time to function as the Aiken County School District consulting physician for several years. He firmly believes that we are a nation of kind, generous and loving people, who deserve to be represented by leaders who will govern by the principles of honest friendship to other countries, free trade, no entangling alliances and war only when declared by Congress.
