What we should be focusing on - and finding solutions for - is ensuring that every American has health care in this country, no matter what level, no matter what age. No one should die because they can't afford health insurance. No one should go bankrupt because they can't afford it.

We are in a technological age. It is continuing to evolve - and fast. We should not only embrace it, but we should realize that what our skilled workforce is going to look in the future will change. We need to be training people to be prepared for it.
