Richard Carmona Quotes

Do any of us actually want to live in a world where your boss can decide that he or she is morally opposed to mental health care?

I got into medical school at the University of California in San Francisco and did well. A lot of smart kids in medical school, and believe me, I wasn’t not nearly the smartest one, but I was the most focused and the happiest kid in medical school. In 1979, I graduated as the valedictorian and was honored with the Gold Cane Award Picture Quote #1

We need stem-cell research, no question about it. It is absolutely crucial for moving our medical science forward. We are trying to harness an untapped source of energy that can provide cures and possibly even prevent disease and suffering Picture Quote #1

The fact is that a bill allowing any employer to deny insurance coverage based on a moral objection - along with giving an employer permission to ask for medical records showing why a woman is taking birth control - opens up a set of problems that I’m sure its sponsors have not fully considered Picture Quote #1

The average person doesn’t understand what a stem cell is. There’s a lack of health literacy in our nation.
