A tremendous amount of needless pain and suffering can be eliminated by ensuring that health insurance is universally available.

For many years I didn't have health insurance.

But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges. No one with those priorities can use my faith to intimidate me.

Nobody likes insurance companies, especially health insurance companies.

Most Americans want health insurance.

Health insurance is becoming more expensive for the average person.
