"No matter how hard you try--you really have to try hard to be healthy in this country."

"We are very grateful to Senator Harkin for his leadership and foresight in working to change the focus of our system from 'a sick care system to a health care system.'"

"The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will come to order."

"Congress is poised to act."
