We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.

I believe our health care system is in drastic need of innovative, patient-centered reforms that encourage competition and increase consumer choice, not the bloated bureaucracy, tax increases, rationing, and mandates in the president's government takeover.

To me, regardless of who's in office, the government is strangled by business. And the government's priorities are dictated by business. I mean, why does America, even after healthcare reform, still not have free universal healthcare? I'm sure it has something to do with the insurance lobby.

One always has to worry when capitalism has a role in health care. If you're just using health care to make money, you will treat the wrong diseases. Capitalism has its limits. There is a role for governments, and this is one where they should be involved.

There's not enough competition and innovation in healthcare.

You can't have public health without a public health system. We just don't want to be part of a mindless competition for resources. We want to build back capacity in the system.

The real cure for what ails our health care system today is less government and more freedom.

We're a high-volume, low-margin business, so we decided to reinvent our own approach to health care.

The answer for healthcare is market incentives, not healthcare by a Godzilla-sized government bureaucracy.

What we're really trying to do is level out the health care system. It has gotten so one-sided as more and more people have been put into managed care; in fact, about 70 percent of the patients in the country.
