If you believe that health care is a public good to be guaranteed by the state then a single-payer system is the next best alternative. Unfortunately it is fiscally unsustainable without rationing.

Unfortunately we are still in an age where individuals may be discriminated against because of health conditions.

I would like to be as fit as I've always been. I've been blessed with good health I've been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles you need an Olympian stamina. I fortunately have that.

Giving governors more leeway in administering health care could represent a small positive development in the ongoing saga of Obamacare. Unfortunately instead of choosing flexibility President Obama and his left-leaning advisers always default to rigid 'Washington knows best' answers.

Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional.

Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness I think only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11 unfortunately it's gone.

We never taste happiness in perfection our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.

Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them.

As a child I was a great liar. Fortunately my mother liked my lies. I promised her marvelous things.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

My books are like water those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good bad it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good more good would happen.

Like every other good thing in this world leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately however it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring.

Nobody ever chooses the already unfortunate as objects of his loyal friendship.

Those who insist on having hostilities with us kill and destroy the option of friendship with us in the future which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless.

Fortunately somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination the only thing that protects our freedom despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.

Freedom of speech is always under attack by Fascist mentality which exists in all parts of the world unfortunately.

I'm very proud of my Nigerian heritage. I wasn't fortunate enough to be raised in a heavy Nigerian environment because my parents were always working. My father was with D.C. Cabs and my mother worked in fast food and was a nurse.

Especially for me growing up in such a small town in the middle of nowhere the desire to be away was incredible. I wanted to see new lands meet new people from the city and meet people that were in much less fortunate situations than I was so that I could be more appreciative of my present. At least I had food on the table.

It is great to add some glamour to the food industry like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.'

In the company of the accomplished people hope it will rub off on themselves in the company of the misfortunate they fear it!

I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
