We don't have a business model for health care in this country, We just have a business model for care. The way doctors and hospitals get paid is something bad has got to happen. It's a pure reactive model.

Cerner has significant growth opportunities. We believe there is leverage with HNA Millennium and in our business model that can grow both our top-line and earnings during 2000 and through the foreseeable part of this decade.

I happen to believe that health care is an imminent crisis. It is.

It is inexcusable that the richest country in the world does not take care of all of its people. We don't consider ourselves idealistic; we're thoughtfully trying to make a beautiful health care model.

In 2001, America 's hospitals provided nearly $21 billion in uncompensated health care services.

My legacy is going to be in affordable health care. I am willing to invest in developing that model and the policies around it.
