What we are working on is the quadrupling of community health centers over a 5-year period from an investment of $2 billion to $8 billion.

Believe me, it is not. Rural America faces enormous problems.

I think what we are really looking at is a revolution, which will eventually filter down to the medical schools as well.

In fact, in Burlington, that is what we are doing. The community health centers linking up.

I, again, apologize for being late. I couldn't be at two places at the same time.

If we were not importing thousands of physicians from India and countries which themselves are in desperate need of doctors, if we were not dependent on foreign doctors, our entire primary healthcare system would collapse.

Actually, the gentleman who helped found that system is sitting behind me right now and now works on my staff.

You are probably talking to the right guy, who is chairman of the Agriculture and Health and Human Services.

I think it is a huge number.

We have an inverted pyramid. We spend huge amounts of money on specialty care and yet we underfund, grotesquely in my view, primary health care.

We spend more money by far per capita on health care than any other Nation on Earth, and yet our health care outcomes are way behind many other countries.

I think we have to end the national, international disgrace that we are the only major country on Earth without a national health care program.
