“We need visionaries like Noel Browne who believed medicine should be only for the social good, not for profit. The long hospital waiting lists are indecent. The fear that drives thousands of people to purchase private health insurance so that they can access services that they are already entitled to is indecent.” - Susie Long, Kilkenny, May 2007.
