It means continuing to fight for Medicare for all because no American should have to choose between getting the care they need, taking the medicine that they need, or paying the bills they have to do.

I believe that every American should be able to go to the doctor when they need to go to the doctor and be able to take the medicine and get the treatment that they need. (19:35–19:40)
