Alan Essig Quotations

If we get (the savings), fine. If we don't, we have a hole.

If we're going to keep (increasing) it by $200 million a year, it will take three years to get back to where we were.

If this goes to the extent that supporters want it to, I think it will have a negative effect on the health-care system.

There are going to be a lot of pressures, obviously. But the time to build up the reserves is the good times; if we don't do it now, we're going to be in big trouble in the next recession.

It's what's causing the funding problem we're having in the budget. We should keep that in mind as we pass these multitudes of tax breaks.
