Well, the concept of the medical home, of course, was in the Baucus white paper, and it's something Senator Harkin and I picked up on.

To claim that cutting Medicare by half a trillion dollars will have no impact on senior citizen benefits mocks voters and insults our intelligence.

We're worried that Congress has been forced into some tax provisions that they wouldn't otherwise have had to be forced into because of the lack of system-wide cost containment.

Fortunately, when we pass national health reform, we will begin a new era in women's health.

But this ridiculous practice of charging women more for health insurance sends the message that we don't want women to receive prenatal services and high-quality maternity care.

For me, health care definitely is a woman's issue.

And by an individual mandate, what we mean is that we will help to cover everybody, but everybody's got to participate?

the most important thing we can do this year, I believe, is to make sure that no more gender discrimination occurs in our health insurance policies.

No one, no one in the United States of America, in order to get health insurance should ever, ever be coerced into getting a sterilization.

Gender rating, preexisting conditions.

I do not think it's our moral and ethical framework.

If we don't end up with everyone in, we're very concerned that at the end of the process when things become available, people will feel very unsatisfied.

We need to take a serious look at Senator Burr's bill that would give everyone tax credits to go out and buy their own plan.

community providers that serve predominantly low-income, medically under-served individuals would be covered to provide any service deemed medically necessary or medically appropriate.

We need health reform, but this is not the reform we have.

We don't want to muzzle or gag rule anybody, but you've gone 2 minutes over.

Oh, boy, that's another sensitive one with me.

Health reform is how we achieve universal access in a way that meets quality standards and also cost standards.
