Making sure that health care is affordable for every American. I think that is very, very important.

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.

I think Obamacare is one of the greatest moves that will be beneficial for everyone in this country.

As Congress debates overhauling the nation's health care system, it should not authorize a reform plan that would further our financial woes. We must avoid creating an unsustainable government program. There is no question that reform is needed, but health care can be made more affordable without massive and expensive new bureaucracies.

I believe our health care system is in drastic need of innovative, patient-centered reforms that encourage competition and increase consumer choice, not the bloated bureaucracy, tax increases, rationing, and mandates in the president's government takeover.

Because of the president's leadership, every American will have access to affordable, quality health care.

I have been absolutely clear where I'm coming from about health care reform. This is something this nation has to do and a robust public option has been the mantra of my campaign from the very outset.

It is critical that we pass legislation to dramatically reform our health insurance system, and this reform should include a genuine public option, universal coverage, an end to insurance policy rescissions, and no restrictions against covering people with pre-existing conditions.

We will have health care reform in America.
