"As president, I will sign a universal health care plan into law by the end of my first term in office. The key to making this happen is going to be to overcome the resistance that we're going to see from drug companies, insurance companies, HMOs."
"My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less than what you are spending now."
"No one will be turned away because of a preexisting condition or illness. Everyone will be able to buy into a new health insurance plan that's similar to the one that every federal employee...currently has for themselves."
"If you can't afford this insurance, you will receive a subsidy to pay for it. If you change jobs, your insurance will go with you. If you need to see a doctor, you will not have to wait in long lines for one."
"Those who should dominate the conversation are American families who want to be well and want to make sure their children are cared for."
