“All Americans, all people have the right to accessible and affordable healthcare. While I am proud that we have recently passed five bills that improve and strengthen healthcare accessibility, lower prescription prices, and protect access for those with preexisting conditions, we still have much more work to do. Healthcare is the people's issue. When polled, 75 percent of Americans listed it as the most important issue to them, and not just healthcare, but affordable, accessible healthcare. We must fight to improve our healthcare system. We must fight the opioid crisis. We must fight to lower prescription prices, and we must unite to make sure that Americans do not go into debt because they or a loved one has an emergency or are diagnosed with a terrible illness. The only way we are going to make real change, the only way we can protect people is if we work to come together to really form real solutions. My message should be clear: healthcare is truly a right. ____________________”
