Even families with health insurance are quite vulnerable to a severe economic reversal if someone gets sick.

Nobody's safe. Health insurance? That didn't protect 1 million Americans who were financially ruined by illness or medical bills last year.

Successful health reform must not just make health insurance affordable, affordable health insurance has to make health care affordable.

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.
