Looking at affordable health care I think it is important that we look not only at prescription drugs but also make sure that there is a major focus on health care.

More than five million seniors have already saved money on their prescription drugs and almost 33 million have benefited from free preventive services. The president cracked down hard on Medicare and health care fraud recovering a record-breaking $10.7 billion over the last three years protecting our seniors. That's what change looks like.

Illegal drug use runs contrary to the image of health depicted by cycling. Distributors of these drugs must be prosecuted more harshly as they are ciminals.

Our health care system is the finest in the world but we still have too many uninsured Americans too high prices for prescription drugs and too many frivolous lawsuits driving our physicians out of state or out of business.

Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway and the pharmaceuticals are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs.

The drug plans our seniors choose will define their health care options for years to come. If they do not make a decision and wait until the May 15 deadline passes they will face penalties and higher prices for the drugs that they need.

We must take action now by permitting re-importation to ensure that health care and prescription drugs remain accessible and affordable for everyone.

As I travel around Idaho and visit with seniors I hear almost universal concern about the rising cost of health care particularly the cost of prescription drugs.

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.

When you start fooling around with drugs you're hurting your creativity you're hurting your health. Drugs are death in one form or another. If they don't kill you they kill your soul. And if your soul's dead you've got nothing to offer anyway.
