“I want to talk today about a little girl 13 years old in Laguna Beach named Lauren. Lauren's grandmother, Jean Meredith, is one of my dearest friends. About a month ago they discovered, as they were looking for a genetic defect in little Lauren, that she had an aneurysm in the middle of her brain, and it is right where the blood vessel comes to the optic nerve. So within 30 days they interviewed three doctors, one in the University of California in San Francisco, one in Stanford, and one in Arizona, who were specialists--yes, specialists in this area. Within 30 days they scheduled an appointment, and they operated and went into her brain and sealed this aneurysm just 2 days ago. She did not have to go to a regional health alliance; she did not have to go before a regional health board or a national health board that sets global budgets; she did not have to queue up as they do in Canada or in Great Britain. She did not face a shortage of medicine because of price fixing; she did not have to be concerned about a shortage of specialists because everybody in Government here believes all people should be general practitioners. I would like to say something you cannot say in a public school. I would like to thank God for the miracle in saving Lauren's life. I would like to thank God for the greatest medical system in the world here in the United States. I would like to pray to God that he continue to give us his blessings and keep this Nation No. 1.”
