I don't support ObamaCare and see it as a step backward that entrenches the power of the private health care industry.
Silence is not an effective political strategy, and what we do if we silence the public interest, which is so hard to hear anyway, is that we silence ourselves and then we do not have a democracy.
If you really want people to remain healthy, you can't just throw pills at people once they become sick, which I feel like I was doing as a medical doctor, so I began working on more upstream thinking.
You don't know what the real problems of a health care system are until you get sick.
I have always been involved in issue-based politics, not party politics - I was never really originally drawn to party politics.

We need a nonpartisan debate commission that actually allows candidates, who are on the ballot in enough states that they could win the election - voters not only have a right to vote, we have a right to know who we can vote for.
