There’s no question that mistakes were made and as CEO, I have to accept responsibility for those mistakes. I was focused on lowering costs and making the hospitals more efficient. I could have had more internal and external controls. I learned hard lessons and I’ve taken that lesson and it’s helped me become a better business person and a better leader.

I've built companies, I've created jobs, I know the frustration of small businesses with higher taxes.

I try to be respectful of how other people think, I try to listen to what they're saying.

Government has no resources of its own. Government can only give to us what it has previously taken from us.

I learned hard lessons, and I've taken that lesson and it's helped me become a better business person and a better leader.
