We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.

We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.

America's health care system is neither healthy caring nor a system.

You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It's the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well.

America's health care system is in crisis precisely because we systematically neglect wellness and prevention.

That which makes people dissatisfied with their condition is the chimerical idea they form of the happiness of others.

For all its terrible faults in one sense America is still the last best hope of mankind because it spells out so vividly the kind of happiness that most people actually want regardless of what they are told they ought to want.

You know American citizens I don't think ever thought that the right to the pursuit of happiness did not include the right to marry the person you love. But for a whole number of Americans gay Americans that happens to be true.

I think people should know more of Africa in terms of its joie de vivre its feeling for life. In spite of the images that one knows about Africa - the economic poverty the corruption - there's a joy to living and a happiness in community living together in community life which may be missing here in America.

We have a long heritage of freedom that defines America. We believe there is a Creator who blessed us with life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
