The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist particularly among our veterans and to move forward with a positive relationship ... Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don't want to do that and that's their decision.

Thankfully President Obama has stood firmly behind women's health care issues by supporting coverage for contraception and reaffirming commitment to organizations like Planned Parenthood.

If you're under 26 you can stay on your parents' plan. You can go back to school or get extra training without fear of a health catastrophe bankrupting your family. Over three million previously uninsured young adults are now on their parents' plans.

When I left my parents' home when I was 19 I went to the University of Florida and within 24 hours was in the mental health department. And within 20 minutes I was being told by the director there that they didn't have what I needed there.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.

I'm a parent and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

Children born to teens have less supportive and stimulating environments poorer health lower cognitive development and worse educational outcomes. Children of teen mothers are at increased risk of being in foster care and becoming teen parents themselves thereby repeating the cycle.

I think about my parents all the time especially on Sunday when I'm at Mass. My mother always said 'We do not pray to win elections. We pray for people's health we pray that God's will be done we pray that we do our best. But we do not pray to win elections.'

Adoptive parents are taking on enormous responsibility both emotionally and financially. Quite frankly they need as much disclosure as possible about the child's background and health to assure the best fit and be prepared.

If kind parents love their children and delight in their happiness then he who is perfect goodness in sending abroad mortal contagions doth assuredly direct their use.
