Warren tells Iowans to 'get in the fight' for change

NORTH LIBERTY — On what was expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year, about 500 people filled a junior high school gym in hopes of finding the perfect presidential candidate.

...

Warren said 36 million Americans last year didn’t fill a prescription for medication because of the cost. Many had health insurance, she said, but because of copays and deductibles couldn’t afford medications.

Warren promised to use her executive powers as president to change that, to lower drug costs to get “the most help to greatest number of people as quickly as possible.”

It’s an example of the “big solutions to match the big problems” she proposes.

“My campaign is based on a lifetime of fighting for working people,” Warren said. “I am running a campaign from the heart because I believe 2020 is our moment in history to pass a Green New Deal and save our planet ... to pass Medicare for All and save our people ... to pass a 2-cent wealth tax.

“If you believe 2020 is our moment in history, I’m going to ask you to commit to caucus for me,” she said. “Get in the fight.”
