"I think you have to have innovation in American health. That is the only way we are going to make sure that we get health to everybody, but we also bring the costs down."

"And your wonderful hospital, Johns Hopkins, saved my wife's life, so I appreciate it."

"A commitment to spending significant dollars to advance health IT must be coupled with a strong commitment to privacy and security."

"Enhanced privacy and security built into health IT will bolster consumer trust and spur the more rapid adoption of health IT."
