We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.

Making sure that health care is affordable for every American. I think that is very, very important.

By giving every American access to quality, affordable health care, they will create a more competitive, a stronger and more secure America!

We're trying to take a leadership role in solving the nation's health-care crisis. We want everybody in this country to have health insurance.

Because of the president's leadership, every American will have access to affordable, quality health care.

I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.

You know we're going to control the insurance companies.

Please be assured that as we move along through the implementation of health insurance reform, making sure that we find efficiencies within the existing system, is foremost on the President's mind.

It is critical that we pass legislation to dramatically reform our health insurance system, and this reform should include a genuine public option, universal coverage, an end to insurance policy rescissions, and no restrictions against covering people with pre-existing conditions.

I think we can see how blessed we are in America to have access to the kind of health care we do if we are insured, and even if uninsured, how there is a safety net. Now, as to the problem of how much health care costs and how we reform health care ... it is another story altogether.
