Notable quotes from Mr. Balat’s interview:

Nothing happens in a hospital except for at the tip of the doctor’s pen.
I believe that healthcare is personal, not partisan nor should it be.
Here’s the thing with with all politicians regardless of party: They don’t know much about health care. They may say that they do, and latch on to a certain talking points but when you get into the weeds with them their eyes will start to glaze over.
Politicians today function as celebrities. I can tell you that what they say in public is very different from what they say in private.
In Healthcare, if it’s not written down, it didn’t happen.
