No employer is going to hire robustly until they know what the health care cost is going to be.

It is wonderful that so many people want to contribute to fighting aids or malaria. But, if somebody is not paying attention to the overall health system in the country, a whole lot of money can be wasted.

Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.

Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.

The Australian Government's decision to take on the dominant funding role for the entire public hospital system is designed to: end the blame game eliminate waste and to shoulder the funding burden of the rapidly rising health costs of the future.

We have over 500,000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. And we simply cannot sustain it. It costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care, in education, and then, on top of it all, in incarceration. And the federal government Does not reimburse us on any of these things.

The truth is I had lots of rehab and now I have a clean bill of health.

I am passionate about talking to women about their breast health.
