Health Care System

Famous quotes containing the words health care, health, care and/or system:

    It is unconscionable that we ration health care by the ability to pay.... your heart breaks. Health care should be a given.
    Kathryn Anastos (b. 1950)

    The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.
    —Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)

    I care not for you,
    And am so near the lack of charity
    To accuse myself I hate you; which I had rather
    You felt than make’t my boast.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
