People don't like it, but inevitably we need to think about both the costs and the benefits of health care. We cannot avoid the financial consequences.

I believe everyone should have healthcare. In all my correspondence - I've been saying for years - it's a right, not a privilege.

Health care should be affordable for everyone.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

My contention is that if we expand the patient-centered health care approach, we'll have less people that have to go the medical clinic that provides free service or go to the emergency room - they can have their own health care plan.

Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I'm not selling insurance.

In this most powerful nation in the world, lack of access to health care should not force local and state governments, companies and workers into bankruptcy, while causing unnecessary illness and hospitalization.

There is just no reason why the richest nation in the world can't provide health care to all its people.

Healthcare should be between the doctor and the patient. And if the doctor says something needs to be done, the government should guarantee it gets paid for.

In the future, it's going to become more and more impossible for the economy to support how expensive medical care is and the number of sick people we have. Why don't we just get our population healthier so we don't need medical care?
