When asked to compare someone having an accident in michigan versus another state:
"What happens in these circumstances, is that the patients really don't have access to the services, or the intensity and duration of services, that they're really going to need - not only to maximize their progress and outcomes, but they are going to need to sustain themselves throughout their life."

"Without no-fault, his family would obviously be bankrupt trying to pay for all of those things"

"When people have opportunities, and the right resources available to them, it's amazing what the human body and the brain can do. It makes me feel great because that's what I'm here to do."

"The goal of somebody who sustained a catastrophic injury is not just to survive, but to live."
