Vincent Caponi Healthcare Quotations

We have the economic wherewithal to do whatever we want, we just need bold statements and strong leadership. If someone challenged this country to solve our healthcare crisis by 2020, it would get done, the way we put a man on the moon during President Kennedy's time in office.

If you ask me what's on my wish list for 2006, Caponi continued, the first thing would be recognition that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. People without insurance or with bad insurance don't get treatment or they delay treatment until they must seek emergency care. If nothing else, that's not cost-effective. Emergency room treatment is the most expensive form of healthcare that exists.
