I want to drive down health care costs.

Health care should be affordable for everyone.

How do you deliver the best possible and affordable health care to maximize health?

Over and over again, I hear from Oregonians that we need real health care reform that provides every American with access to quality, affordable care.

I am concerned about the plight of the working poor... If doctors are not paid for seeing those patients, doctors will not go to rural Alabama because you can't expect a doctor to go to rural Alabama and lose money.

I am hopeful for the American people that we can actually improve the outlook for bringing down costs in health care.

If you think health care is expensive now, just wait 'til it's free.

We need more access to quality health care, not less.

We have in Tennessee a number of wonderful faith-based clinics to serve the uninsured. It is an important principle with them that everyone pays something as they are able.

All Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care.
