Additional quotes by Joycelyn Elders

I believe that the reason we do not see health care as a human right is that our country is run by a class of white men who don't understand the problems of *needing* and *not having*. Perhaps they've never been there themselves. Nobody wants to be poor. We all want food, clothing, and shelter. And health care, too.
