Insurance Quotes
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.

And there is no getting away from the fact - and this is a key point of discontent among many who are upset with the health care reform bill is it didn't go far enough. They say why isn't it in place now? Why don't I see some benefits now? All I see is the potential for losing insurance coverage, for premiums going up. That's hurting Obama.

I did an action series back in '97, and did very intense training; weapons, knives, hand-to-hand combat. The more an actor trains in that way, the more we can do on screen and the better it looks. Nowadays, they want the actors to do as much as possible and stunt doubles are primarily used for the dangerous things that aren't covered by insurance.

Every day, families in the United States face the stark choice between a roof over their heads and food on the table. Buying health insurance, owning a home, and saving up for college are just too far out of their reach.

Today more than 20,000 communities participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. More than 90 insurance companies sell and service flood service insurance. There are more than four million policies covering the total of $800 billion.

When it came time to go to college, I had been accepted for Harvard when my father was offered the position of head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company office on the west coast, and we moved to San Francisco.

What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with
costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance
plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to
give money to shareholders. Why should be defending
shareholders?
Anthony Weiner
------------------------------------------------------------
The major economic policy challenges facing the nation today
- pick your favorites among the usual suspects of low public
and household savings, concerns about educational quality and
achievement, high and rising income inequality, the large
imbalances between our social insurance commitments and
resources - are not about monetary policy.
Timothy Geithner
------------------------------------------------------------
In the 5 years, well over 60,000 American families have been
broken apart by the absence of insurance because the only way
for parents to get treatment for their children is to turn
the custody of those children over to the State.
Patrick J. Kennedy
------------------------------------------------------------
Everybody you talk to about insurance says the insurance
market has become a lot more vibrant as a result of lifting,
allowing the foreign direct investment.
John W. Snow
------------------------------------------------------------
Our system of private health insurance that fails to provide
coverage to so many of our citizens also contributes to the
double-digit health care inflation that is making America
less competitive in the global economy.
John Conyers
------------------------------------------------------------
The result was, of course, that today, tragically, more than
40 million Americans don't have health insurance, and for
many, not having health insurance means they don't have
access to good health care.
George J. Mitchell
------------------------------------------------------------
Americans want and deserve a broad array of health insurance
choices so they can identify those that best fit their own
individual or family needs. These choices expand when we
allow free enterprise to foster innovation, not smother it
with taxes and one-size fits all ideology.
Fred Upton
------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court has never ruled that Congress can use the
Commerce Clause to require individuals to engage in an
activity they have chosen to avoid. Yet that is precisely
what Obamacare does: It forces Americans without health
insurance to purchase coverage. Such a requirement is
unprecedented and unconstitutional.
John Cornyn
------------------------------------------------------------
We must work to stabilize Social Security. We must not gamble
with our nation's social insurance program, one of our most
popular and effective federal programs that has remained
dependable and stable for the past 70 years.
Grace Napolitano
------------------------------------------------------------
People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are ready for single-payer
health insurance.' We are the only industrialized country in
the world that does not have national health insurance. We
are the richest in wealth and the poorest in health of all
the industrial nations.
Studs Terkel
------------------------------------------------------------
It is important for women to have a choice, to have an
opportunity to plan their families, because if they don't,
the Republicans have said this is an ownership society. You
are on your own, and they're going to begrudge that child
everything, from WIC to a Pell Grant to health insurance.
Gwen Moore
------------------------------------------------------------
Facts are, insurance ratings are really dependent on the
notion that some people are higher risk than others.
Patrick J. Kennedy
------------------------------------------------------------
You can look at that by comparing Medicare's growth rates to
the private insurance world, to the other Federal programs
that we run, by looking at the billions of dollars, not
millions but billions of dollars, we waste every year.
Bobby Jindal
------------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco businesses face many challenges, including high
rents, regulatory burdens, and the rising cost of workers
compensation insurance and employee health plans.
Gavin Newsom
------------------------------------------------------------
Today right here in America we have 50 million people without
health insurance.
Corrine Brown
------------------------------------------------------------
And I spent that time working as an insurance adjuster and
going to law school in the evening, and then when I left law
school, I joined the Department of Justice in Washington.
George J. Mitchell
------------------------------------------------------------
In the field of health care, we are giving people access to
insurance who have not had it before.
Christine Gregoire
------------------------------------------------------------
One in seven Americans lives without health insurance, and
that's a truly staggering figure.
John M. McHugh
------------------------------------------------------------
If Obamacare is allowed to stand - and Congress is allowed to
make the purchase of government-endorsed health insurance
compulsory - there will be no meaningful limit on
Washington's reach into the lives of the American people.
That is certainly not what the Founders intended.
John Cornyn
------------------------------------------------------------
I had a problem with cops pulling me over all the time for
speeding. When I was doing Hill Street Blues, the cops said
how much they loved the show as they were writing me up;
meanwhile my insurance went through the roof.
Jennifer Tilly
------------------------------------------------------------
The reason Gov. Romney passed Romneycare as governor of
Massachusetts in 2006 was because many Republicans viewed
health care reform, mandates and all, as a way to inoculate
against Democratic charges that Republicans didn't care about
people who lacked health insurance.
Ari Fleischer
------------------------------------------------------------
While some people are certainly seeing economic benefits,
many others are unemployed, underemployed, without health
insurance and struggling to make ends meet.
Jerry Costello
------------------------------------------------------------
The fact remains that most of us are anesthetized to the true
cost and true value of long term care insurance.
Michael Burgess
------------------------------------------------------------
As Americans, we can choose where we work and live, what we
drive, which insurance plan is best for us, so why can we not
give workers a choice when it comes to their retirement?
John Doolittle
------------------------------------------------------------
And in terms of their crown jewel legislative achievement:
who knew that when asked, 'will government impose a new
federal mandate requiring middle class Americans to buy
health insurance whether they can afford it or not?' The
answer would be 'Yes we can!'
Artur Davis
------------------------------------------------------------
When I said I no longer wanted to be a painter, that I wanted
to be an actor, the first thing I did was get a stinking job
in an insurance building.
Rod Taylor
------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't need the insurance. I do it again if my DP tells me
it didn't look good in the camera or if the actors didn't hit
their marks. But if everything was working why do it again?
Debbie Allen
------------------------------------------------------------
Some directors expect you to do everything; write, be
producer, psychiatrist. Some just want you to die in a tragic
accident during the shooting so they can get the insurance.
John Malkovich
------------------------------------------------------------
These wrestlers aren't organized. They have no union, no
pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler
who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically
running on fumes today. There's a lot of drama there.
Darren Aronofsky
------------------------------------------------------------
Think for a moment about what Obamacare has done: The federal
government has come up with its own (ever-evolving)
definition of 'health insurance,' which now includes free
access to sterilization, contraception, and certain
abortifacients such as the morning-after pill.
John Cornyn
------------------------------------------------------------
This marketplace where people can buy insurance who don't have it today - a competitive marketplace: That's an idea that both sides embrace.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you, you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you get seriously ill, you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don't want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
Fully 57 percent of American college students are women. Life insurance companies sell more policies to women than to men. As women continue to draw on experience and education, they're accelerating their numbers in upper management, too.
Suzanne Fields
------------------------------------------------------------
The insurance companies aren't covering that. Should Monsanto be liable for these losses? Should the state government? Who's going to cover the losses? The fact is, here's an industry with no long-term liability in place.
Jeremy Rifkin
------------------------------------------------------------
We have a plan that creates universal access programs at the state level which allows folks to access insurance if they're denied by their insurer.
Eric Cantor
------------------------------------------------------------
Please be assured that as we move along through the implementation of health insurance reform, making sure that we find efficiencies within the existing system, is foremost on the President's mind.
Valerie Jarrett
------------------------------------------------------------
The middle class is teetering on the brink of collapse just as surely as AIG was in the fall of 2009 - only this time, it's not just one giant insurance company (and its banking counterparties) facing disaster, it's tens of millions of hardworking Americans who played by the rules.
Arianna Huffington
------------------------------------------------------------
Even if you're doing the national insurance awards, there's still that excitement when you wonder who is going to win, er, best premiums.
Jimmy Carr
------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of Americans receive health insurance coverage through their employers, but with rising health care costs, many small businesses can no longer afford to provide coverage for their employees.
Jim Ryun
------------------------------------------------------------
All those predictions about how much economic growth will be created by this, all of those new jobs, would be created by the things we wanted - the extension of unemployment insurance and middle class tax cuts. An estate tax for millionaires adds exactly zero jobs. A tax cut for billionaires - virtually none.
Anthony Weiner
------------------------------------------------------------
The place where we don't agree is on whether there should be some restraint on insurance companies and whether they should be allowed to run wild. We believe there should be some restraint; some on the other side don't think so.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
But we are not going to stand by and go back to allowing people with preexisting conditions to be discriminated against, go back to the situation where people can be thrown off their insurance simply because they become seriously ill or you can't get on your parents' insurance after the age of 20.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
People in Medicaid ought to have access to the same insurance as the rest of the population. If they are segregated, it will be a poor plan for poor people.
John Goodman
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still very connected to my family, to the world I grew up in. I understand what it means to be afraid that you can't pay a doctor's bill. Or to have to make the choice between buying a band uniform for a seventh-grader and making the insurance payment on time. That will never leave me. It was how I lived until I was well into my adult years.
Elizabeth Warren
------------------------------------------------------------
One of the major goals of health insurance reform is to bring down the cost.
Valerie Jarrett
------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that in these difficult economic times, the potential for any additional expense is not welcomed by American businesses. But in the long run, the health insurance reform law promises to cut health-care costs for U.S. businesses, not expand them.
Gary Locke
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude's are treated without regard for the family's ability to pay. Everything beyond what is covered by insurance is taken care of, and for those without insurance, all of the medical costs are absorbed by the hospital.
Marlo Thomas
------------------------------------------------------------
Most Americans want health insurance.
Jacob Lew
------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know what the overhead is of the Medicare system? One-point-zero-five percent. Do you know what - private insurance is 30 percent in overhead and profits? Given a choice how I'm going to improve health care, I'm going to take it away from private insurance profits and overhead. Wouldn't you?
Anthony Weiner
------------------------------------------------------------
But you say, does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill, and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
Just because your ad looks good is no insurance that it will get looked at. How many people do you know who are impeccably groomed... but dull?
William Bernbach
------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I'm not selling insurance.
Dennis Kucinich
------------------------------------------------------------
Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors, 2k insurance, 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That's how to make an independent film.
Edward Burns
------------------------------------------------------------
I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything.
America Ferrera
------------------------------------------------------------
For those that are working part time, in small businesses, or who are unemployed and do not currently have health insurance, we want to make sure that you are covered.
Valerie Jarrett
------------------------------------------------------------
Because what happens is, as the economy suffers, tax revenues go down. But unlike businesses, where at least your variable costs go down, in government your variable costs go up: unemployment insurance, workmen's compensation, health care benefits, welfare, you name it.
Meg Whitman
------------------------------------------------------------
There are horses people use for competition, and if they don't perform well or go lame, then people ask the vet to put them down to get the insurance money. And my vet knows I love horses, so he gives them to me.
Daryl Hannah
------------------------------------------------------------
If you look at the cost of providing health insurance, it actually doesn't cost more to provide a plan with contraceptive coverage than it does without.
Jacob Lew
------------------------------------------------------------
Skyrocketing insurance premiums are debilitating our Nation's health care delivery system and liability insurers are either leaving the market or raising rates to excessive levels.
Jim Ryun
------------------------------------------------------------
While Free Choice Vouchers didn't fulfill my vision of a health care system in which every American would be empowered to hire and fire their insurance company, they were a foothold for choice and competition and a safety valve for Americans whose employers are already forcing them to bear more and more of their family's health insurance costs.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.
Debra Winger
------------------------------------------------------------
The public has lost faith in the ability of Social Security and Medicare to provide for old age. They've lost faith in the banking system and in conventional medical insurance.
Ron Chernow
------------------------------------------------------------
Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance, no promise of health care regardless of social standing, that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care.
Paul Farmer
------------------------------------------------------------
Left to ourselves, we might pick the wrong health insurance, the wrong mortgage, the wrong school for our kids; why, unless they stop us, we might pick the wrong light bulb.
Mitch Daniels
------------------------------------------------------------
Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.
Nancy Pelosi
------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I can tackle an issue -homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message.
John Grisham
------------------------------------------------------------
If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible, which I do, including dental, and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism, that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy, so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.
Michael Moore
------------------------------------------------------------
I want to know if I look up a whole lot of books about some form of cancer that that's not going to get to my insurance company and I'm going to find my insurance premium is going to go up by 5% because they've figured I'm looking at those books.
Tim Berners Lee
------------------------------------------------------------
Americans are free to choose everything from what they eat, drive and watch on TV to the President of the United States. Yet, when it comes to allowing Americans to choose the health insurance that works best for them and their family, the freedom to choose suddenly becomes un-American.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions, not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.
Charles Schumer
------------------------------------------------------------
If people want to keep their kid on their insurance at 26, fine. We've got to make sure no American gets turned back for pre-existing conditions, that's fine.
Allen West
------------------------------------------------------------
Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it.
William Penn
------------------------------------------------------------
That's the really neat thing about Dan Quayle, as you must have realized from the first moment you looked into those lovely blue eyes: impeachment insurance.
Barbara Ehrenreich
------------------------------------------------------------
In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.
Albert Ellis
------------------------------------------------------------
I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.
John Grisham
------------------------------------------------------------
When President Obama passed health care reform, it was personal! And when Governor Romney says he would repeal Obamacare and put insurance companies back in charge of a woman's health, that's personal too.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
------------------------------------------------------------
Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.
Barbara Boxer
------------------------------------------------------------
Remember kids, I have life insurance.
Adam Savage
------------------------------------------------------------
My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.
Al Pacino
------------------------------------------------------------
If you like the health insurance that you have you should be able to keep it, but if you don't like the health insurance you have, you should be able to choose something else.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Healthy Americans Act, you're in charge of your health care - not your employer. If you lose your job, change jobs or just can't find a job, your health insurance is guaranteed to stick with you.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
------------------------------------------------------------
For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull.
Ralph Nader
------------------------------------------------------------
I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance, to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.
Stephen Harper
------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President's economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation - innovation begins in the classroom - clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform.
Nancy Pelosi
------------------------------------------------------------
The story of my very first sale is the fact that I dreamed up a foolproof paper to cheat an insurance company out of several hundred thousand dollars.
Theodore Sturgeon
------------------------------------------------------------
My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.
Willie Aames
------------------------------------------------------------
I know from my constituency what is going on. Doctors that are told, begged, by mothers, 'Please don't write down that my child as asthma. Please lie and say it's bronchitis, because if you write down asthma, when my child turns 18 or 20 and has to get his or her own insurance, it will be a pre-existing condition.'
Barbara Boxer
------------------------------------------------------------
We know that 10 million more people will lose insurance in the next 10 years if we don't act.
David Axelrod
------------------------------------------------------------
How come liberals never admit that they're liberal? They've now come up with a new word called 'progressive,' which I thought was an insurance company but apparently it's a label.
Marco Rubio
------------------------------------------------------------
In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.
------------------------------------------------------------
Opportunity expands when there is excellence and choice in education, when taxes are lowered, when every citizen has affordable, portable health insurance and when constitutional freedoms are preserved.
Mitt Romney
------------------------------------------------------------
If a child, a spouse, a life partner, or a parent depends on you and your income, you need life insurance.
Suze Orman
------------------------------------------------------------
Look, I'm a cancer survivor, all right? So I have great personal empathy for people who have pre-existing conditions and can't get insurance.
Carly Fiorina
------------------------------------------------------------
America doesn't have health insurance.
Joe Biden
------------------------------------------------------------
I collect old portraits. They're all just interesting pictures of people, and you just kind of wonder who they were and what they were. There's a guy - I don't know who he is, but he's wearing a suit. He's got his arms folded, and he looks like he sold insurance or something. I'm just wondering why someone painted him.
Ellen DeGeneres
------------------------------------------------------------
Those outside of autism need to understand this is an epidemic and we need more government funding, insurance coverage and education reform.
Jenny McCarthy
------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot drive a system that's going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren't sick and you don't have to pay more money on them.
Mehmet Oz
------------------------------------------------------------
With the loss of Free Choice Vouchers, hundreds of thousands of workers will now be forced to choose between their employers' unaffordable insurance or going without health care.

Fun is like life insurance; the older you get, the more it costs.
Kin Hubbard
------------------------------------------------------------
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen
------------------------------------------------------------
I will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
Barack Obama
------------------------------------------------------------
Many kids come out of college, they have a credit card and a diploma. They don't know how to buy a house or a car or health insurance or life insurance. They do not know basic microeconomics.
Jesse Jackson
------------------------------------------------------------
Once your kids are grown and you know that you're completely healthy, consider canceling your life insurance policy.
Suze Orman
------------------------------------------------------------
You know we're going to control the insurance companies.
Joe Biden
------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going to be something when the American people realize - once it's passed - that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you're insurance rates aren't going to skyrocket; C, the insurance companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before; D, you're going to be in a position where you can keep your insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that, you're going to get a reward for this. They're going to be rewarded.
Joe Biden
------------------------------------------------------------
Show business is my life. When I was a kid I sold insurance, but nobody laughed.
Don Rickles
------------------------------------------------------------
Let's hold insurance companies accountable the right way by making them put their whole customer base on the line.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
It took a little over a decade to build a coalition strong enough to beat the insurance companies, but in 1990, then Senator Tom Daschle and I passed a law regulating the private market for supplemental Medicare insurance policies.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
I think if progressives stay at this, continue at the grassroots level to make the case that all Americans should have choice, all Americans ought to be able to hold insurance companies accountable, I think we will have 60 votes in the United States Senate for a strong bill.
Ron Wyden
------------------------------------------------------------
I do about 90 percent of my own stunts, and the things I can't do for insurance reasons, like swinging out of a flying helicopter, I wouldn't want to do anyway.
LL Cool J
------------------------------------------------------------
The people who did the collateralized mortgage obligations, sold them to pension funds, then sold them short, then bought credit default swap insurance on them, are just amazing. They are a law unto themselves.
Ben Stein
------------------------------------------------------------
And I'll tell you, honestly, folks that I talk to, the 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in America, that I am one of, understand that we're done with insurance companies dropping us or denying us coverage because of - because we have a preexisting condition.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
------------------------------------------------------------
The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim, but it's always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance.
Suze Orman
------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody likes insurance companies, especially health insurance companies.
P. J. O'Rourke
------------------------------------------------------------
Insurance - an ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table.
Ambrose Bierce
------------------------------------------------------------
Actually lowering the cost of insurance would be accomplished by such things as making it harder for lawyers to win frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies.
