Political Quotes

“all of Vermont shared a proud moment on January 31, when Carolyn Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Copley Health System in Morrisville, VT, was sworn in as chair of the American Hospital Association's Board of Trustees. I can think of no person more qualified or better prepared to lead hospitals during this year of intense debate about how best to reform our Nation's health care system. Over the years, Carolyn has shared with me, her ideas on improving the way we deliver health care, particularly in rural areas, and I have come to rely on her expertise to guide me in health care issues. I always have been impressed that Carolyn never loses sight of what health care is all about--taking care of people. Recently, she testified at a hearing of my Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology and the Law on the information and privacy aspects of President Clinton's Health Security Act. I look forward to working with Carolyn on this and other issues central to the reform debate. Carolyn is my adviser and my friend. I wish her the very best in the coming year.”
