I critique market-based medicine not because I haven't seen its heights but because I've seen its depths.

What I like about vampires is what I like about everything I want to write about, the depths and heights, the pain and joy. Life.

It is very expensive to give bad medical care to poor people in a rich country.

Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance, no promise of health care regardless of social standing, that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care.

I've been asked a lot for my view on American health care. Well, 'it would be a good idea,' to quote Gandhi.

You seek the heights of manhood when you seek the depths of God.
