Tulsi Gabbard on Preventive healthcare
“Too many people in this country are getting sick without the care that they need. As president, I will work to ensure all Americans have quality healthcare incentivized to increase health and prevent and heal disease.”
"I support a single-payer system that will allow individuals to access private insurance if they choose. I will also incentivize good health choices and lifestyles for a healthier, wealthier nation!"
"Unfortunately, we don’t have healthcare in this country—we have sick care. We’ve created a massive for-profit entity incentivized to keep people sick and on drugs. As president, I will work to build a healthcare system incentivized to increase health and prevent & heal disease"
Here are some of her ideas regarding preventive healthcare :
"We need to ban all products containing glyphosate, including Roundup. It's poisoning our people, butterflies and other insects, the land and the water."
Common weed killer glyphosate increases cancer risk by 41%, study says
"We need to get serious about fighting cancer by resolving to take on the powerful forces in our society that profit from it. We need a green economy that rewards clean energy industries & ensures access to fresh, affordable, pesticide-free foods for all. "
".@JeffDSachs is absolutely right. The pharmaceutical industry and corporations undermining food safety play a major hand in fueling the opioid and obesity crises. They must be held accountable."
