Talarico: ‘When I Fight for Universal Healthcare, I’m Doing It on Biblical Grounds’

TRANSCRIPT:

TALARICO: “When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. So — (applause) — so, when I fight for universal health care, I’m doing it on biblical grounds. When Jesus fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge to turn a profit. So, when I say that no child in the state of Texas should go to bed hungry, I’m doing it on biblical grounds. And when the Hebrew prophets saw corruption in high places, they spoke truth to power. So, when I take on the politicians who are serving themselves and not the people, I am doing it on biblical grounds.”
