The more expensive our system becomes the bigger the gap between the health care haves and have-nots.

We're paying for it, but no one can see it.

I don't see any silver bullet out there that is going to alter the trajectory of our health system, which is one of spending more and more to care for fewer and fewer people.

The probable effect of this would be that there would be no pharmacies left in D.C..

This is a very troubling thing. The economy grew, more people had jobs, yet there was a decline in employer-based health insurance.

When spending on health care goes up faster than earnings … people are priced out of the health insurance market.

It's starting to affect middle-income people as well.

This seems a very modest reduction.

In city after city, when we were talking to hospitals, we kept hearing that there were more uninsured patients seeking treatment.
