"This major new initiative will improve health care for millions of Americans and protect all our people against the overwhelming financial burdens of serious illness."

"I have determined that the extension of the import relief provided for in items 923.20 through 923.26, inclusive, of the TSUS is in the national interest."

"I must say in all candor that no child of poverty, no elderly American, no middle-class family has yet benefited from a rigid and unswerving commitment to this principle of all or nothing."

"No longer will working families live in fear of catastrophic medical expenses."
