The uninsured problem is a problem that crosses ethnic bounds. The immigrant population is a small percentage of the total uninsured population and the uninsured are just a small percentage of the cost problem that we're facing.

If it's very expensive to get a routine check-up, they tend to skimp on those primary care services that are preventative in nature. The problem is that it's much easier to take care of high cholesterol early on than having a heart surgery later on.

We're glad to do that because otherwise they'd end up in our emergency rooms. The most costly place for us to take care of them is in the emergency room.

Fifty percent of the world's population now lives in cities, those are the people who need this, ... We still get around cities the way the Greeks did 5,000 years ago; they put on sandals, we put on sneakers.

The obvious pollution occurring in many places - worst of all, in the planned societies- has encouraged the growth of the environmental movement, which, however, as shown in previous chapters, has an agenda that goes far beyond clean-up and beautification, far beyond the stewardship of nature that is commanded by ancient religious tradition. Embracing the "biospheric vision" in the "spirit of deep ecology", the movement sees human beings as the chief enemy in the struggle on behalf of a deified Nature. The environmental movement, therefore, is the perfect vehicle for population control. It is popular - people do love trees and animals and beautiful scenery - and it is unequivocal in its devotion to reducing human numbers. The environmental agencies of the United Nations, with their chilling blueprints for "demographic transition" and a standardless, undefined but totally planned and controlled "sustainable development", combine the fervor of nature worship with the lack of accountability of an unelected, international bureaucracy.

Before artificial nitrogen fertilizer became widely available, the world's population was around 2 billion. When we no longer have it - or if we ever decide to stop using it - that may be the number to which our own naturally gravitates.
