Thanks to you there are folks that I meet today who have gotten care and their cancer&#8217;s been caught. And they&#8217;ve got treatment. And they are living full lives and it happened because of you.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve come too far to turn back now. We&#8217;ve got too much work to do to implement health care. We&#8217;ve got too much work to do to create good jobs.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got too many teachers that we&#8217;ve got to hire. We&#8217;ve got too many schools that we&#8217;ve got to rebuild.
