I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.

The best way not to encounter America's health care system is not to have to encounter it.

I don't believe we have defined health care reform very well in this country.

Health care in America, despite all you hear, still offers us citizens one of the most efficient and highest quality systems in the world. But it's expensive, and it's only getting worse.

America's health care system provides some of the finest doctors and more access to vital medications than any country in the world. And yet, our system has been faltering for many years with the increased cost of health care.

America enjoys the best health care in the world, but the best is no good if folks can't afford it, access it and doctor's can't provide it.

America's health care system is the most complicated and expensive in the world.

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

The U.S. has the most dysfunctional healthcare system in the industrial world, has about twice the per capita costs, and some of the worst outcomes. It's also the only privatized system.
