It puts the provider in a situation of looking for ways to have someone else pick up a piece of the cost. As a result, every customer who has insurance ends up paying a 'hidden premium.' It simply adds to the health care cost burden.

Dick Durbin

We will have health care reform in America.

Mario Lemeiux

Paul Stanley

You're entitled to Medicaid regardless of your income. Don't worry about your health care.

Gilbert Highet

Well, here's what I think. I mean, the people are saying, 'We don't want it,' and the Democrats are saying, 'We don't care. We're going to pass it anyway.'

That is the key burden that they will face.
Peter Orszag

I'm one of those that have said, one of my key principles is I will not support a health care reform bill that is not deficit-neutral, period.
Mike Ross

I've laid down my set of principles, so I will not force government-run health care on anyone.

Malcolm Fraser

One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away.

Eric Braeden

Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.
Johannes Brahms

The minute health care becomes a huge, unwieldy, expensive government bureaucracy it's a permanent feature of life and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Mark Steyn

The essence of a government health care system - for people who have never lived under it and don't know - is waiting, waiting, waiting. You wait for everything. You wait for years for operations that are routine in America.

Government health care changes the relationship between the citizen and the state, and, in fact, I think it's an assault on citizenship.

But the fact of the matter is that all scientific evidence would show, based upon what we know about this disease, that muscle cuts - that is, the meat of the animal itself - should not cause any risk to human health.
Ann Veneman

I think it's important that, as a matter of course, the brain and spinal column were removed from this cow, and that would be the material that would cause concern in terms of human health. And therefore we're confident in the safety of the food supply.
Ann Veneman
