Basic Universal Health Care isn’t just morally right, it is pro-innovation and pro-business. Employer-based health insurance, inferior as it is in many cases, is a killer of risk taking and anti-freedom. #universal #healthcare #united #ceo #delaydenydefend

This goes against the values we stand for as Americans. Celebrating the deportation of Haitians who came to the United States through a lawful humanitarian program to a country gripped by gang violence, mass displacement, and the collapse of essential services is a moral stain on our nation.

Health insurance enrollment doesn't decline in a vacuum. When premiums go up and costs keep climbing, families get priced out. Every American deserves access to affordable healthcare and the peace of mind that comes with it. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

thehill.comAffordability, not fraud, is why fewer Americans have health insuranceThe “fraud, waste, and abuse” narrative has been seriously overworked, and does not fit the facts.
