The American people have woken up and are paying attention and engaging on this issue. When it comes to health care, I think the large majority of Americans share the same perspective I do, and it is a perspective I developed as a health care professional. The four principles I have always led my professional life by have been the same four principles that have guided me in my role working for the people as a Member of Congress, and it is the same principles that I see the people agreeing with when it comes to health care. They want to improve our health care system, not throw it out, not create some government-run system. My principles that I have always led my life by, and I think they are principles that are important in this debate, let's do what we can to make sure that we lower the cost of health care for all Americans.
