Dr. Michelle Nelson on Partisan Polarization

I don't know how we got to where we are in terms of being probably the most polarized we've ever been. What has happened to sense of community, decency. What's happened to the American dream, that everyone should be able to come and have the pursuit of happiness. That is slipping from us. And we have to ensure that we get back to core American values where we not only are trying to ensure a great life for ourselves, but we're also helping those around us. They need people who are committed to putting any type of politics or partisanship or anything aside for its citizens. We are so greatly divided and you know, it's time that we come together, particularly when it comes to healthcare.

The pursuit of optimal healthcare is a pursuit for all. And we have to make sure that whatever the partisan political divide, that we are able to deliver the best when it comes to health outcomes for our citizens.
