When I became president with a commitment to reform health care, Hillary was a natural to head the health care task force. You all know we failed because we couldn't break a Senate filibuster. Hillary immediately went to work on solving the problems the bill sought to address one by one.

We will have health care reform in America.

I'm one of those that have said, one of my key principles is I will not support a health care reform bill that is not deficit-neutral, period.

In 1979, just after I became governor, I asked Hillary to chair a rural health committee to help expand health care to isolated farm and mountain areas. They recommended to do that partly by deploying trained nurse practitioners in places with no doctors to provide primary care they were trained to provide.

I don't believe we have defined health care reform very well in this country.

One of the best aspects of health care reform is it starts to emphasize prevention.
