Political Quotes

“We must have a moral awakening, a spiritual revolution on how we treat a person's health in this country. We must understand that every single human has a right to be healthy and comfortable, to live with dignity, and to receive the healthcare they need to flourish. At present, this understanding is in conflict with a sinister, unjust force in our society: corporate greed. Why are people forced to skip insulin injections so they can pay their rent? Why are my residents charged $70 for a PrEP, a pill that could dramatically reduce HIV transmission, when the same pill costs $7 abroad? Corporate greed has replaced the moral imperative that everyone live in health and dignity. There is more wealth in this country than any other in human history, and millions go without health insurance and prescription drugs, people condemned to live with pain and suffering because we have chosen corporate profits over our dignity as a nation. We are watching a crisis unfold in real time. It is time we break the corporate stranglehold on our health and well-being, lost profits of the insanely wealthy be damned. We have much more important things to protect. We have the soul of this country to rescue. ____________________”
