We can have the best health insurance options in the world, and people still won't get needed care if we don't increase our supply of primary care physicians and nurses.

It worries me about our unwillingness to really address reforms and modernization in Medicare. This thing was designed 37 years ago. It has not evolved to keep pace with current medical technology.

There is a shortage of doctors, and the American Medical Association is aiming to keep it that way.

I am dying from the treatment of too many physicians.

The greatest threat to Medicare is Obamacare, and we're going to stop it.

I don't want anybody between a doctor and a patient - not an insurance company bureaucrat or a Washington bureaucrat.

I have to tell you as a doctor, 25 years of practice, not as a politician using talking points, as somebody who has taken care of Medicare patients, we can make it a lot better.

Today, Medicare provides health insurance to about 40 million seniors and disabled individuals each year. The number is only expected to grow as the baby boomers begin retiring.

We shouldn't be undermining Medicare for those who need it most in order to give more tax cuts to those who need them least.

President Obama has already ended Medicare as we know it.
