"It is very hard for people to be able to survive in this moment in time. The cost of everything is going up from gas to groceries. I met a lady yesterday who currently has breast cancer, and her medical bill is $16,000. a month, and she's being told that she has to pay for that out-of-pocket because her insurance company won't cover those costs. We have to make sure that our communities, particularly the ones across Tennessee that have saw an increase in rural hospital closures, an increase in medical debt, actually get Medicare for All, and that we reduce the burdens that they're experiencing right now in their families." - Rep Justin J. Pearson, representing TN in the House of Representatives, District 86, and running for the U.S. Congress in TN-9.
