"As a result of this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, our campaign finance system is corrupt and is undermining American democracy."
"Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. Every man, woman, and child in our country should be able to access the health care they need
regardless of their income. The only long-term solution to America's health care crisis is a single-payer national health care program." (8/2016)
