George W. Bush: “The proposals I've outlined will take years to have their full impact.”

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.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
