I'm going to announce in the very near future, I'm going to lead by example and start paying 20 percent of my health insurance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm committed to universal health coverage and education.
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.
You know we're going to control the insurance companies.
My legacy is going to be in affordable health care. I am willing to invest in developing that model and the policies around it.
I am all for using business - public and private - to expand healthcare coverage.
I look forward to working with our leadership team to advance the causes of smaller government, lower taxes, eliminating terrorism, and providing affordable health care, among other issues.
We are thinking ahead to long-term care, aware that many folks don't plan ahead and won't be ready. We want to see to it that people will have choices.
I have always been interested in health care and doing something that is dramatic.
I also rise today in strong support of forward movement on the implementation of health information technology, which has the potential to save the United States billions of dollars in health care costs each year.
If there ever is government-run health care, the first ones to sign up should be the president and every member of Congress, including myself. You should be able to keep the insurance you've got today, if you like it, and always choose your own doctor.
