Quote: "We can't fix the economy without fixing healthcare. The work won't be easy, but bringing about real change rarely is . . . This isn't a partisan challenge; it's an American challenge, and one that we can't afford to ignore. This election was a vote for change, and nowhere is that change more important than in reforming the healthcare system of America."
