Flashback: Obama’s White House Promoted Theranos Founder Charged with $700M in Securities Fraud

‘Our belief is that every person no matter where they live or how much money they have as the basic human right to access to their own health information’

HOLMES: "I'm Elizabeth Holmes, I'm the founder and CEO of Theranos. Our work is in being able to realize a healthcare paradigm around early detection, prevention and consumer empowerment, and in making it possible to do laboratory testing in a highly accessible way, which means tiny samples instead of big tubes of blood from your arm and incredibly low prices. Our belief is that every person no matter where they live or how much money they have has the basic human right to access their own health information. And so our mission, our dream is to make it possible, not just in this country but globally, for people everywhere to begin to have access to this information so that they can use it to live their best lives and to catch the onset of disease in time to do something about it. I think the opportunity to try to connect with especially women and young girls and developing economies around what only because of this country I've been able to do, which is as a young girl start a business, drop out of school and try to make a difference in the world."
