Scarlett Johansson addressed the DNC on Thursday not as a representative of young Hollywood, she said, "but as a representative of the many millions of young Americans, particularly young women, who depend on public and nonprofit programs to help them survive." Scarlett pointed to how government made a positive difference in her own life. She talked about growing up in New York City with a father who barely made enough to get by.
"We moved every year, and we finally settled in a housing development for lower middle income families. We went to public schools and depended on programs for school transport and lunches, as did most of my friends." And today, according to Scarlett, her girlfriends from high school still depend on Planned Parenthood and often Medicaid for important health care services.
