The Carter Center has the only existing international taskforce on disease eradication. Which means a total elimination of a disease on the face of the Earth. In the history of the world, theres only been one disease eradicated: smallpox. The second disease, I think, is gonna be guinea worm. – Jimmy Carter
The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now, had it not been for Ted Kennedys deliberately blocking the legislation that I proposed in 1978 or 79. – Jimmy Carter
