Thomas Daschle: “Who can forget that resonant voice? Who can forget the call of the roll? Who can forget the authority with which he…”

I have a sense that the time has come for real constructive bipartisan action on healthcare.

I think that the cost of the status quo, the cost of doing nothing may be the most expensive option of all.

We have cost problems. We have access problems. But as you rightfully point out in your question, we certainly have quality problems.

Our health care system is broken, and fixing it is one area where I hope the 80-20 rule comes into play.
