George W. Bush: “Health care reform must begin with Medicare.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Government does have a role to play in health care, but a robust private market is critical to ensuring that health care is affordable and accessible for all Americans.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
