I don't think it's radical to say that you should not have to declare bankruptcy or lose your house because you got cancer.

I will be damned if I do not leave behind a planet that is healthy and habitable for our kids and grandkids.

We have a corrupt criminal justice system where if you're a kid caught selling marijuana, you go to jail, but if you're a fossil fuel CEO who knowingly destroys the planet and harms thousands of people, nothing happens to you. That's a system I intend to change.

When your house is on fire, you don't worry about the cost of calling the fire department. It's time to do the same with health care. We will pass Medicare for All so no one will be afraid to call an ambulance due to the cost. – at Clemmons, NC

In the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one illness or disease should not ruin a family’s financial life and future. #EliminateMedicalDebt

Fossil fuel executives knowingly caused incredible damage to the planet. We are going to hold them accountable.

You don't pull out your wallet when the fire department shows up to save your house. The same should be true of health care. That is why we need Medicare for All — which eliminates premiums, co-pays and deductibles.

Unlike Donald Trump, I know what it's like to be in a family that lives paycheck to paycheck.

Why do we have people working 40 hours a week and can’t afford to feed their kids? The answer is pretty simple: wages in America are too damn low.

All school meals should be free to children.

Average cost of childbirth in the United States: $32,000 Average cost of childbirth with Medicare for All: $0

Imagine what your life would be like if your health care was guaranteed, your wages were fair, and an emergency wouldn't mean bankruptcy. What if you weren't up at night worrying about taking care of your family? All Americans deserve to feel that security, not just the rich.

Donald Trump is going to be a one-term president.

Unlike Trump, I haven't been bought off by pharmaceutical companies. I'm going to take them on and cut prescription drug prices in half.

No one in America should die because they can't afford their medication. I can't believe we have to say that.
