Many health care providers particularly physicians in rural and urban areas are leaving the Government programs because of inadequate reimbursement rates.

In the rush to become all things to all people the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.

To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open not closed. So yes my ego is big but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.
