She criticized the US government, saying that, "It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible."Furthermore, she said, "People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor – and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities."She then announced that her family would be donating half a million dollars to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of Pink's mother, Judy Moore, "who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center."
