"Neither left nor right has focused adequately on maternal health." ― Nicholas D. Kristof Topic(s): Government More From Nicholas D. Kristof "You don’t need to invade a place or install a new government to help bring about a positive change." "The fact that people will pay you to talk to people and travel to interesting places and write about what intrigues you, I am just amazed by that." "Abortion politics have distracted all sides from what is really essential: a major aid campaign to improve midwifery, prenatal care and emergency obstetric services in poor countries." More In Government "I don’t believe in a price on carbon, because the government is going to control it and they’re going to fail."― T. Boone Pickens "Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about."― Iain Duncan Smith "This is a government takeover of our healthcare system. It is the government basically running the entire healthcare system, turning large insurers into de facto public utilities, depriving people of choice, depriving people of options, raising people’s prices, raising taxes when we need new jobs."― Paul Ryan
