“America is the only advanced industrial democracy where people can get sick and languish because they can't afford care. Or where people are blocked in access to the system because they don't have access to insurance, which is only available through certain narrow portals and under certain very restricted conditions.

And no one should be saddled with a lifetime of debt because they have the misfortune of falling ill.”
