We don’t have a healthcare system. We have a sickness care system.

Dear Sharra,   America's approach to healthcare prioritizes treating the symptoms of illness at the expense of treating their cause. That's why I said at the Democratic debates last election that we have sickness-care rather than a healthcare system.   We need to do more than ask how we're going to treat illness; we need to ask ourselves why so many Americans are sick. Why is there so much more chronic disease in the United States than in other advanced democracies?   The answer is simple. We are sicker than our counterparts in other countries because we don't prioritize health in our public policies. From agricultural to food to chemical to environmental policies, time after time we prioritize corporate profits over the health of our food, our water, and our air.   We must examine the cause and not just the symptoms of our nation's problems. And in order to do that, we must be willing to stand up to huge corporate powers that exploit our people to increase their profits. Even a bottle of ketchup is healthier in Canada than in the United States!   Companies from other countries buy businesses in America and spew environmental toxins into our water and air in ways they wouldn't be legally allowed to do in their own countries! According to the U.S. Geological Survey, forever chemicals - or PFAS - are now present in 45% of America's drinking water.   None of this need be. These problems can be corrected, but only if we act. When I am president, I will work tirelessly with experts and advocates to move our country towards universal healthcare with my WHOLE HEALTH plan, prioritizing preventative care and addressing the causes of so many of our chronic diseases. By proactively cultivating health and wellness, we will improve our national health statistics. And we will release a huge amount of productivity activity and creativity in people who feel energetic and healthy for the first time in years.   I will work assiduously to guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, healthcare for every single American through a MedicareFor All type plan. Health care is universally available in every other advanced democracy, and it should be in ours as well. Right now, 85 million Americans are underinsured or uninsured; I will not rest until that number dwindles down to zero.   The more our message is heard – the more the American people are freed to expand their political imaginations and have a chance to vote for what they really want – our campaign grows exponentially. We are presenting a unique, much deserved option to the American people, and the more they hear it the more they like it.
