We need to start training more primary health providers and fewer specialists. We will never be able to control health care costs unless we challenge the over-emphasis on medical research, specialists and technology and put more emphasis on delivering good, everyday basic medicine to those who now have none.

Universal coverage, not medical technology, is the foundation of any caring health care system.

Everything we do in public policy prevents us from doing something else. To govern is to choose.

Richard Lamm Quotes
