My point has always been that access to healthcare should not just be a privilege of those who can afford it, it should be a right for all people.

We've achieved that in terms of capping the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month, capping the cost of annual prescriptions at $2,000 a year for seniors. (04:12–04:20)
