In my forties, my optimism was boundless. I had really good health and tremendous success which allowed me to do anything I wanted.

Better understanding of the natural world not only enhances all of us as human beings, but can also be harnessed for the better good, leading to improved health and quality of life.

I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate.

I basically believe the medical insurance industry should be nonprofit, not profit-making. There is no way a health reform plan will work when it is implemented by an industry that seeks to return money to shareholders instead of using that money to provide health care.

When you get older, your health becomes important to you, things start breaking down, you've always got a different ache or pain.

Aaron Pryor wants to get into the ring with me. He wants to be able to retire, and he will. For health reasons.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it, read it thoroughly, and understand that what we are looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy, paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

Most of the State of the Union will not be about Iraq. Most of the State of the Union will be about improving America's economy and providing greater access to health care for millions of American people, including senior citizens.

I believe you need scientific proof that something works before you entrust your health to it.

There is much that public policy can do to support American entrepreneurs. Health insurance reform will make it easier for entrepreneurs to take a chance on a new business without putting their family's health at risk. Tort reform will make it easier to take prudent risks on new products in a number of sectors.

Here in Silicon Valley, I have taken part in hundreds of conversations trying to convince people to dive in and become entrepreneurs. All too often, innovators with good, safe, jobs are unwilling to put their family's access to health care at risk by walking away from company-backed medical insurance.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles.

When elected officials abandon our environment and ruin our natural resources, public health is endangered. I know the importance of providing a clean environment for our children I have attended more than one funeral for a child who has died from an asthma attack.

The fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill to end the bailouts cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.

When women earn the money for the family, everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income, everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health, education, to food security, to the children, to the family, or to the community, so when women have an income, everybody wins.

We simply can no longer afford to deny the full potential of one half of the population. The world needs to tap into the talent and wisdom of women. Whether the issue is food security, economic recovery, health, or peace and security, the participation of women is needed now more than ever.

As a doctor, when I was minister of health and would go somewhere, little girls would come up to me and say, I want to be like you one day, I want to be a doctor. Now, they tell me, I want to be president just like you. All of us can dream as big as we want.

Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.

I am active in PAX, which is a gun awareness organization. We treat gun safety as a public health issue.
