When he and RFK took away vaccines, I directed my public health commissioner to write a prescription for vaccines for everyone in the state. And I got insurers to cover that. And so in Massachusetts, … When he took away SNAP benefits...I convened, I led, I called on businesses and organizations and people to come forward, and we were able to fund food pantries and food banks. … with the Supreme Court undoing Roe and then continuing to threaten access to abortion around the country, I stepped forward. I stockpiled mifepristone. (03:55–04:18)
