Health Quotes
Health is measured in more than numbers.
These quotes move between the personal and the civic - years spent caregiving for family, running as a way to protect mental health, and a bridge metaphor used to argue that a society's health depends on its weakest members, not its averages. See our Change Quotes for related ideas.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.
- Kindness

- Nov 07, 2020
We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique.

- Nov 07, 2020
The time after college and before music was really rough. I couldn't afford food. I was eating bread and butter for five months. Living in New Orleans, I couldn't afford to take care of myself. I had no health insurance.

I welcome the President and working with him to try to get some of that medical malpractice reform so we can get the cost of health care to come down.
- Health Insurance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think we should have a universal, a shared cultural or societal goal, of universal health insurance coverage. That's completely different from saying the government can solve all of those problems, or that it can micromanage every aspect of the health delivery system. I think we know that it can't do that.
- Empathy

- Nov 07, 2020
Democrats have long held an advantage over Republicans on health care, mostly due to a perceived empathy problem in my party.
- Better

- Nov 07, 2020
A family's desire to be able to keep its health insurance when changing jobs or geography (a problem that Obamacare doesn't make any better, by the way) is perfectly reasonable.

The health of our republic depends on shared principles like the First Amendment, but it is also built on the Teddy Roosevelt-like vigor of its citizens and local self-reliance.

- Nov 07, 2020
2013 was a year of myths falling apart. The myth of President Obama - a myth in which Obama was a messianic figure descending to bequeath health care, equality, and brotherhood on mankind - imploded. The myth of an America embracing the leftist social agenda collapsed.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obamacare has made the government part of our health care decisions. The IRS controls all of our financial information. The NSA apparently sees everything else.
- Fall

- Nov 07, 2020
For many Americans, including many who are employed, going to the doctor when they fall ill or become injured may not be an option because of the absence of health insurance.
- Epidemic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not a surprise that the mental health epidemic is affecting so many people because we can't escape this bubble from being on our phones and tablets.
- Family

- Nov 07, 2020
'A Streetcar Named Desire' is one of the best, if not the best, modern American plays. It deals with family dynamics, mental health, PTSD, war, and love. It's hard to beat.
- Alone

The Clinton Foundation has been able to help millions of people - over 10 million with HIV/AIDS alone - saved countless lives. It's extremely important to global health. They've done some really great things.

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.
- Good Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Health care is one-sixth of our economy. If the government can control that, they can control just about everything. We need to understand what is going on, because there are much more economic models that can be used to give us good health care than what we have now.
