I think that we need to find a way to transform our relationships so that we're not trapped into dichotomies of us versus them and we really can find a way, in this world, now, to have health care really be about caring for each other and not just caring about profits of a few. And that's how I really think about health care-- how we think about each other.I asked, "How can we help you?"

"Just keep standing up for what you believe in. We should not let this moment pass without demanding more of our system, that we reject the kind of minimalism that doesn't lead forward. It leads backwards.
We have to find the greatness, not just in each one of us, but in our selves to call our selves to a higher set of responsibilities and a higher degree of accountability for creating our future. And we are selling ourselves short so often, and are causing this system, which is so retrograde, with so much force and power and effect on our lives. that we are forgetting who we are. We are forgetting that this system was created by our own hands. And by our own hands we can refashion the system to make it work for us.
