By fostering competition, leveling the playing field, and increasing transparency, we can bring America's health care sector into the 21st century.

I want to level the playing field for people who want to purchase health insurance as individuals, and that means eliminating the exemption for employer-sponsored health care.

The 21st century simply means open century.

The great challenge of the twenty-first century is to raise people everywhere to a decent standard of living while preserving as much of the rest of life as possible.

We will have health care reform in America.

We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.
