In every country except – industrial country except the United States, the government uses its massive purchasing power to negotiate drug prices. That’s one of the reasons prices are so much higher in the United States than in other countries.
Noam ChomskyObamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.
John KennedyIf you don’t like the idea that most of the money spent on lottery tickets supports government programs, you should know that most of the earnings from mutual funds support investment advisors‘ and mutual fund managers‘ retirement.
Robert KiyosakiThe remedy is worse than the disease.
Francis BaconWhen you look at how much we spend on social programs in our country, it separates us from a lot of countries. In our country, if you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. If you’re homeless, we’ll house you. If you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor. But all of that comes at a cost.
John KennedyThe year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.
Bill GatesI know it’s going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we’re in. You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.
George W. BushWe’ve got to keep our eye on what’s happening with Russia and North Korea. We cannot lose sight of domestic policy, either. Healthcare. Immigration. Climate change.
Kamala HarrisBring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.
AristotleI try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.
EminemWhen I was a kid, there were no credit cards. Instead, retailers offered layaway plans. My mom would go to a store, such as a furniture outlet, choose the sofa she wanted, and put it on layaway. That meant she put a little money down to hold the sofa, and every payday she’d pay a little toward the purchase.
Robert KiyosakiIf you’re worried about the deficit, pay attention to the fact that it’s almost all attributable to military spending and the totally dysfunctional health program.
Noam ChomskyI believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.
Edmund HillaryInvest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.
Brian TracyInformation, education, skills, healthcare, livelihood, financial inclusion, small and village enterprises, opportunities for women, conservation of natural resources, distributed clean energy – entirely new possibilities have emerged to change the development model.
Narendra ModiIt seems sensible to me that we should look to the medical profession, that over the centuries has helped us to live longer and healthier lives, to help us die peacefully among our loved ones in our own home without a long stay in God’s waiting room.
Terry PratchettA nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Money without brains is always dangerous.
Napoleon HillExtreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
HippocratesCure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
HippocratesSome very poor countries run great vaccination systems, and some richer ones run terrible programs.
Bill GatesYou know we’re going to control the insurance companies.
Joe BidenI recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.
George CarlinIt’s rare for a startup to make money immediately, so you need to make sure that you have enough saved or that you have another income stream that can support you.
Richard BransonI wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the NHS. I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.
Stephen HawkingThe time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn’t go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he’s got.
Will RogersThe problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Ronald ReaganIf a patient is cold, if a patient is feverish, if a patient is faint, if he is sick after taking food, if he has a bed-sore, it is generally the fault not of the disease, but of the nursing.
Florence NightingaleMedicines are only fit for old people.
Napoleon BonaparteThe very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.
Florence NightingaleWhat charitable 1 percenters can’t do is assume responsibility – America’s national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.
Stephen KingBeware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
Benjamin FranklinBalanced budget requirements seem more likely to produce accounting ingenuity than genuinely balanced budgets.
Thomas SowellI want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.
Barack ObamaSpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.
Elon MuskI have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.
Edmund HillaryIn order to deal with all the medical cost demands and other challenges in the U.S., as we look to raise that revenue, the rich will have to pay slightly more. That’s quite clear.
Bill GatesA doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn’t pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.
Henny YoungmanWe’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior.
Bill GatesI remember thinking quite logically that I didn’t want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Bill GatesHyperinflation can take virtually your entire life’s savings, without the government having to bother raising the official tax rate at all.
Thomas SowellMany people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.
Robert KiyosakiOne pillar to wealth is having residual income.
Nipsey HussleIt’s a disgrace that we have millions of people who are uninsured.
Colin PowellThe only question with wealth is, what do you do with it?
John D. RockefellerIt is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.
Thomas SowellI always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It’s a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.
Ariana GrandeEven if the government spends itself into bankruptcy and the economy still does not recover, Keynesians can always say that it would have worked if only the government had spent more.
Thomas SowellKeep a watch also on the faults of the patients, which often make them lie about the taking of things prescribed.
HippocratesSee, that’s why Barack’s running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly – to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American – and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.
Michelle ObamaFor what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?
Virginia WoolfTime is money.
Benjamin FranklinEvery nurse ought to be careful to wash her hands very frequently during the day. If her face, too, so much the better.
Florence NightingaleTreatment without prevention is simply unsustainable.
Bill GatesSocial Security’s not the hard one to solve. Medicare, that is the gorilla in the room, and you’ve got to put all of it on the table.
Joe BidenYou’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
BonoI have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
Carl JungI think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it’s one that’s easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.
Jimmy CarterIf we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we’ve got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.
Barack ObamaWe might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.
Ronald Reagan
