We support access to affordable healthcare for all persons. We do not discriminate due to age, gender, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, creed, marital status, veteran status, political faction, economic status, or any other factor. To limit access due to any one of these factors or any other reason is deny a person their basic human rights. It is to deny them their equality as a fellow human being. The U.S. Declaration of Independence states, “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” If we deny someone health care access do we not interfere or potentially jeopardize their life? By not allowing them to sit at the table to discuss healthcare do we not impede their liberties?
NOVA ScriptsCentral (NSC) was founded on the belief that the healthcare system in Virginia is incomplete and unable to meet the needs of poor and uninsured. We provide lifesaving medications to our patients that live with chronic conditions that they would not be able to receive or otherwise easily afford. With the signing of this declaration NSC would like to take our first of many steps into the realm of advocacy and make sure that our patients are represented at the table involving conversations of equal and affordable healthcare access.
“I speak not for myself but for those without voice… those who have fought for their rights… their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.” –Malala Yousafzai
