Topics
Dr. Annie Andrews: 我感到非常激动，我们的竞选活动启动上周受到了极大的支持，并且一直持续到本周。我知道人们非常渴望像我这样的领导者，他们具有医疗保健背景，并且没有被职业政治家所腐蚀。我的竞选活动的一个特点是，我就是我，我会说我想说的话。我不是一个过度咨询的、在华盛顿长大的候选人。我认为我们的启动视频能够突破并走红，是因为我是一个普通人，用普通人的方式说话，我的理由深深植根于我作为母亲和儿科医生的身份。在这个时代，人们非常渴望一种新的领导者，这就是我希望在当选为南卡罗来纳州下一任美国参议员后所能成为的。 Dr. Annie Andrews: 我希望带回一种基本的道德和人性，并为正确的事情而战，而不是为了帮助我获得或保持权力。我将主要关注影响每个南卡罗来纳州居民的问题：医疗保健成本和腐败，因为腐败是我们医疗保健系统问题和成本上升的根源。我们已经稍微谈到对我们国家医疗保健系统的直接协调攻击。当我如此努力地为2024年选举而战，以选出我知道我们的国家迫切需要和应得的那种领导人时，我从未预料到，如果特朗普赢得选举，我们会看到对我们国家医疗保健系统如此迅速和协调的攻击。我真的没想到会这么快发生。 Dr. Annie Andrews: 我面临儿科劳动力危机，我们需要几十年才能建立未来儿科医生的队伍来治疗美国儿童。儿科医生的收入在所有专科医生中是最低的。如果我们有一个联邦医疗补助计划，为美国所有18岁以下的儿童提供保险呢？像林赛·格雷厄姆这样的领导人永远不允许我们进行这些不切实际的对话，因为他们正忙于攻击我们医疗保健系统中正在为美国人提供医疗保健的部分。我们正处于防御状态，以至于我们甚至无法真正想象，如果我们以一种能够为更多人提供优质、负担得起的医疗保健的方式重新构想美国的医疗保健系统，会发生什么。
