In the course of the reform, some new circumstances that we had not anticipated have appeared.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In our view, successful reform is not an event. It is a sustainable process that will build on its own successes - a virtuous cycle of change.
This disaster did not force us to abandon our ideal; on the contrary, from the very first months of the conflict, it led us to define precisely the conditions for its realization.
Reform is born of need, not pity.
It's an embarrassment that we don't have a broad enough consensus among political leaders that true reform should take place. I could count the members of Congress on one hand that took these issues seriously.
Reform is the mission from which we shall not digress; it is an expression of belief and determination between us and our people. With the help of Allah, we will proceed forward in this promising national process within the natural progress of the life cycle and the development of people and nation.
The mandate given to me was one of change.
To reform means to shatter one form and to create another; but the two sides of this act are not always equally intended nor equally successful.
It always takes a scandal to bring about reform.
If we did not have Obamacare, we could've addressed the healthcare crisis in a comprehensive but segmented fashion - meaning that we could have promoted a health savings plan. We could've pushed for tort reform, which added so much more cost to healthcare.
It is now clear that major irregularities did not occur.
