That's one of the ironies of our time: Right when we're on the edge of serious improvements in health care, we're also cooking the planet.

It is time to maximize and prioritize our health care dollars.

Make health care a right, not a privilege.

Health care costs are an issue both for the government and for our larger economy.

Whatever we do, it is definitely time that we reboot the health care reform attempt. It's time to completely start over.

It's time for Haitians to have access to health care. It's time to open our borders to the Haitian diaspora, open our markets to the world. It's time to open our country to potential investors.
