When I turned 30 due to my father's heart history and my family genetics I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.

Everybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems.

Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I'm not selling insurance.

Like it or not in the end it's one's body. It's literally what carries you through life. There's a reason for the saying 'If you have your health you have everything ' and it's true. Old age disease - these are the great equalizers.

I think that everyone is saying all kinds of things about 'rich.' Not only am I rich from doing some of things I've been able to do but I'm rich in spirit. I'm rich in health. I'm rich in every way possible.

As a single-payer advocate I believe that at the end of the day if a state goes forward and passed an effective single-payer program it will demonstrate that you can provide quality health care to every man woman and child in a more cost-effective way.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

We can never ever say it enough: every woman - especially every young woman-has to take charge of her health... and do what's right for her!

I think the British people are very very attached to the idea that the health service is free at the point of use. But there is no reason why every doctor nurse and teacher in this country has to be employed by the state.

I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.

Because of the president's leadership every American will have access to affordable quality health care.

I agree with just about everyone in the reform debate when they say 'If you like what you have you should be able to keep it.' But the truth is that none of the health reform bills making their way through Congress actually delivers on that promise.

For the amount of money that the country is going to spend this year on health care you can go out and hire a doctor for every seven families in the US and pay the doctor almost $230 000 a year to cover them.

You cannot drive a system that's going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren't sick and you don't have to pay more money on them.

I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.

Every profession will have its rogues of course no matter what oaths are sworn but many health care professionals have a real commitment to serving the best interests of their clients.

If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible which I do including dental and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.

In order to lead a country or a company you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody green economy regulations - can't have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It's got to have a vision.

I think it's horrible that people have to be told. Don't smoke! Everybody knows it's bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.

In societies where mature workers are respected and where their wisdom is respected everybody benefits. Workers are more engaged and productive. Their health is better. They live longer.

All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being and certainly in almost every newborn baby that there is an active will toward health an impulse towards growth or towards the actualization.

One lesson that every nation can learn from China is to focus more on creating village-level enterprises quality health services and educational facilities.

If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club so that when they see you doing this they will take you away for a little chat.

As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall and increases but to decay.
