Sebelius: MLK said no American dream without healthcare access

January 21, 2014

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. described inequality in healthcare as the “most shocking and inhumane” form of injustice, a U.S. health official says. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said as America honors the life of King and his legacy of fighting for racial equality, human rights and economic justice, his words concerning inequality in healthcare still resonate because there is nothing more essential to obtaining the American dream than good health.
