The Mental Health Parity Act passed the Senate by unanimous consent in 2008.

I have got to be excused, but I appreciate all three of you being here as well as the prior panel.

I want to applaud the Ranking Member, Senator Hatch, who was an original cosponsor of that legislation and is a champion in this fight.

Well, in my opening statement, I noted that NHTSA has issued literally hundreds of regulatory actions in just the past decade.

Now, I do not know how many agencies have a regulatory road map like this, but it seems to me this supplements the actual rulemaking.

But do they not have to give their personal information: Social Security number, their earnings, what their income is, family income is, et cetera?

So by August, you knew.

As I have expressed many times on previous occasions, in my view the Federal Government has been for decades enacting and subsequently enforcing far too much substantive criminal law.

I do believe strongly the main feature of this law is to reduce the rate of growth of health care cost in this country.

Put simply, there is a long track record of broken promises and untruthful answers to both this committee and the American people.

But do they not have to give their family income and other personal data?

I am very concerned about this going into a socialized medicine situation where we really, really cannot control the costs.

I expect you are going to be able to get the IT problems solved, the information technology problems solved.

It has been nearly 6 months since you last appeared before the committee. Given all that has gone on during that time, particularly with the implementation of Obamacare, I would like to say that today's appearance is long past due.

for months I have expressed concerns about the privacy and security controls being implemented as part of this Federally Facilitated Marketplace.

Look, I think this is a terrible bill, and that is not because I am a Republican or a Democrat.

We want to do this right.

Well, I will not keep you very long, Madam Secretary.
