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.

Healthcare providers will compete to offer the best record of patient safety at the lowest prices. Hospitals and patients will benefit from having accurate information about areas of excellence and areas that must be improved.

We have really good data that show when you take patients and you really inform them about their choices, patients make more frugal choices. They pick more efficient choices than the health care system does.

People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.

Providing health care is like building a house. The task requires experts, expensive equipment and materials, and a huge amount of coordination.

Providing patients and consumers with solid information on the cost and quality of their healthcare options can literally make the difference between life or death; and play a decisive role in whether a family or employer can afford healthcare.

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

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

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

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