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

I suspect the psychological pressure associated with that crisis caused the first mental blackout I had ever suffered. It contributed to a deterioration in my health that later required the insertion of a heart pacemaker.

The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it whether it's on film or television or waiting tables you know?

When I gave birth to my fourth child I suffered from post partum hemorrhaging. I almost lost my life. I was lucky to be under the care of trained health care personnel. I started wondering then what was happening to women in rural villages.

I never expected in a million years that I would have the honor to become an advocate of women's health care and education and I'd dive on a live grenade to get this message out so thank you for this forum.

Many of us believe that we need health care reform. That being said - Americans felt like they weren't being listened to. There were a lot of people across the political spectrum who said we don't want a one-size-fits-all healthcare plan.

I am enormously honored to be one of the spokesmen of the New Age Womens Health Campaign so you'll be seeing me in public service announcements and public appearances supporting the campaign.

To get away from poverty you need several things at the same time: school health and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side you need market opportunities information employment and human rights.

In addition I'll be attending women's health expos and medical conferences with the goal to promote dialogue between women and their health-care providers.

To maximize our potential to enhance our health and our knowledge we should remain open to new understanding and evolving technology or resources that might inspire a change in our approach to these important questions.
