I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.

In the beginning when I sat next to Tom Brokaw on the 'Today' show the stories I was interested in were those having to do with women and children and learning and health. In those days 25 to 30 years ago that was called soft news and not in a nice way.

I don't think there's a shortage of material in the world. Or in my head. I just pray for continued good health because I've got other stories to tell.

Today the demands are for even higher standards in the quality of care for greater flexibility and convenience in treatment times and for more prevention through screening and health checks.

Because of the president's leadership every American will have access to affordable quality health care.

To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty.

With a host of proposals on the table and a President examining new ideas for health reform we have an obligation to give real reform our best shot.

Under the Healthy Americans Act you're in charge of your health care - not your employer. If you lose your job change jobs or just can't find a job your health insurance is guaranteed to stick with you.

I believe that whether you love your job or hate your job get laid off or are just in-between jobs you deserve health care that can never be taken away.

If you like the health insurance that you have you should be able to keep it but if you don't like the health insurance you have you should be able to choose something else.
