"I urge you to remember that Americans often grow impatient when they cannot see light at the end of the tunnel -when policies do not overnight usher in a new order. But politics is not magic." — President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966 "Similar to President John, what is important now is technology, and we can see the light in the tunnel. We can get better outcomes for equitable cancer care, for every person. We have the capabilities to provide everyone access to high-quality care, lower the risk for hospitalizations, and make it, so the system is there for you so that we manage cancer care."

"In a country with unparalleled healthcare spending, it's disgraceful that preventable suffering and deaths continue at such alarming rates. The glaring disparities in health outcomes based on income, race and ethnicity emphasize the urgent need to address inequities head-on. Fortunately, we possess the potential to unlock healing and equity through compassion and kindness, leveraging our collective knowledge and advanced technology."

"Access to medical care should not be a privilege, but a human right. A country with a fair system cannot allow these inequities to remain."
