Rod Blagojevich Health Quotations

We are now in a position. Our fiscal house is in order, and we are poised to seize this moment, right this time, to give every single child in the state of Illinois access to complete and affordable health insurance,

We will do for our kids in Illinois what our country decided to do 40 years ago for our senior citizens under the Medicare program. We will guarantee access to health care for our kids,

That's the best way to do it, versus taking money away from our schools, taking money away from providing health care for people,

I can't think of anything more important, ... (It's) something . . . that no state anywhere in America is currently doing, and that is to provide health care to every child.

Health care is not a privilege. It's a right, ... It's a right as fundamental as civil rights. It's a right as fundamental as giving every child a chance to get a public education.
