Politics. Today, joe biden spoke about inike rotavirus cases coronavirus cases across the u. S. Going to make a short statement here and then im going over to vote with my wife and i will be happy to take your questions after i dont. Competed completed another publichealth briefing with my team of health experts. We looked at the latest data that indicates we are on the upward slope of a bigger wave of confirmed infections then anything we have experienced today. We talked about what actions would be needed to turn it around and how it would be made worse by this administrations declarations of surrender to the virus and we discussed again the vital depart importance of wear masks, protecting your neighbor and saving hundred thousand lives in the months ahead between now and the first of the year. This is not political, it is patriotic. Ring a mask, where one wear one, period. We focused on the ways this virus is hitting these harder. We are seeing a race based disparities across aspects of the virus. A harder time quarantining safely because of the financial circumstances. Lower access to quality treatment when they are infected and tragically, higher mortality rates. One in 1000 black died from this virus. Statistic andring 57 of black adults 46 of latino adults know someone who has died or been hospitalized by this disease. Than, we have lost more 220,005 the virus already in this administration has given up. Mark meadows went on television and admitted they have waived the white flag and declared surrender saying quote we are not going to control dependent. The American People deserve so much better than this. Look at what happened last night after the trump rally ended. Strandedof people were in subzero freezing temperatures for hours. It is an image captured President Trumps whole approach to this crisis. He takes a lot of they pronounced but they dont hold up. He gets his photo op and then he gets out. He leaves everyone else to suffer the consequence of his failure to make a responsible plan. It seems like he just does not care much about it. The longer he is in charge, the more reckless he gets. The White House Science Office put out a statement listing ending the covid19 pandemic as a top accomplishment of President Trumps first term. Top accomplishment of trumps first term. At the very moment when infection rates are going up in almost every state in our union, the refusal of the Trump Administration to recognize the reality we are living at a time when almost a thousand american is an insultry day to every Single Person suffering from covid19. Nothing more personal to American Family and their health care or that of their loved ones i know all too well what it feels like to lose a loved one to suit, to sit in a hospital bedside and feel like theres hole in the middle of your chest. Many of you know what it feels like to watch a beloved person i , and while they are dying of cancer and some other disease without having to wonder about where they will pay the medical bills. Thehat would happen Insurance Companies were able to come in and say we are not going to cover the treatment. It get today, President Trump is on the singleminded to strip americans of their health care. That would only create another enormous crisis in the system. In two short weeks exactly one week after the election, Trump Administration will make its case asking the Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care act quote in its entirety. In its entirety. Let me say that again. They are arguing the entire law westphal, which would strip 20 million americans of their Health Insurance overnight, rip away insurance for more than 100 Million People in the middle of an upswing of a pandemic. The upswing. Minutes weeek on 60 heard what trump told lesley stahl about the upcoming Supreme Court case and i, i hope that the end it. It will be so good if they end it. End of quote. Question thats why President Trump nominated Justice Barrett to the Supreme Court, why the republicans jammed her through in the middle of an election. Triedblic has tried and since the Affordable Care act was passed to overturn it and every single time they have failed. President trump has tried everything can to sabotage the now, they have added the court of justice to criticize the previous decision to uphold the Affordable Care act in the hopes they can destroy it once and for all through the arts matter how me americans they hurt in the process selected number exactly what is at stake in this election. If you have diabetes asthma cancer or complications with covid19, you will lose the protections this law provides. Insurers will be able to jack up your premium and or deny your coverage women will be charged more for their health just because they are women and children no longer be able to stay on their parents insurance thaties on top of all of overturning the aca could mean that people have to pay to get covid19 back seat once it is available. Thats right. The law that says insurers are required to cover vaccine for free is the Affordable Care act. He is striking that down, or attempting to. Unlike donald trump i believe health care is a right for everyone to have access to it. Afford four cant more years of a present who thinks hes only responsible for the wellbeing of people who voted for him. Only for the wellbeing of people who vote for him. This guy attacked doctors, claiming there are over reporting covert cases because they want to make our money. Casess are over reporting because they want to make money. Know our doctors and nurses in Frontline Health care workers are putting themselves at a norms risk every day. More than a thousand have already died in an attempt to beat back the pandemic. They deserve to be treated with respect by the president. We cannot afford four more years of a president who would rather spend his time trying to strip people of health care then even once bothered to put forward a plan on his own. We cant afford four more years of dumb trump. The good news is we have the chance to turn this around. Six more days are left in the election. The American People have it in their hand to put this country in a vastly different path. This is my commitment to you. I will protect and build on the Affordable Care act. You can make it stronger. Im going to make it stronger, with your help. Deductiblesms and and outofpocket expenses. Down drug prices by almost two thirds taking steps such as allowing medicare with pharmaceutical companies when they say we are only paying you x amount the following essence, it will lower prices drastically making it available to everyone. Will make sure everyone has available to free covid19 this is not beyond our capacity. If we come together stand together if we come together as the united states, democrats, republicans and independent, we can transcend divisions and show what is possible there is nothing beyond our capacity no limit to americas future. If i am elected president as i said yesterday, i will be a president who is not in it for himself, but others. A president who does not divide, but unites us into appeals to the best in us. Our president who looks not to settle scores but to find a solution. A president guided not by Wishful Thinking but by science, reason and facts. Win, going to take a lot of hard work to end this pandemic. Falset running on the promise being able to end this pandemic by flipping a switch but what i can promise you is this we will start on day one doing the right things. We will let science drive our decisions. We will deal honestly with the American People and we will never, ever quit. Thats how we will shut down this virus, so we can get back to our lives a lot more quickly than the pace we are going at now. Im going to fight to protect your Health Care Just like i would fight for your my own family. We can do this and now going to do what i hope all of you do. Going to walk out of this building and im going to go vote. Im going to go vote. People changet of this for us and make it better. May god bless you all and may god protect our troops. Thank you
