Abdul El-Sayed understands something very profound. That at the end of the day, no matter how much wealth and power the big moneyed interests have...that at the end of the day, what is more important than their money is ordinary people coming together in the struggle for economic, social, racial, and environmental justice. -- Bernie Sanders, US senator from Vermont and presidential candidate Abdul is one of our most gifted communicators and fiercest advocates for the ideal of health care as a fundamental human right. In Healing Politics, he draws on his invaluable blend of experience as a doctor, public health commissioner, and political leader to bring a sorely needed sense of empathy and humanity to the debate over how to mend our fractured society. -- Jon Favreau, Pod Save America
