"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."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Income and wealth inequality is a matter of life and death. In 2008, college-educated white men had life expectancies of 14.2 years longer than black men with fewer than 12 years of education. The rich get rich and are living longer. The poor get poorer and, in many cases, are dying younger. We need a national health care program which guarantees health care for ALL."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Shamefully, the United States remains the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all people. The United States must move toward a Medicare-for-all single-payer system. Health care is a right, not a privilege."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
