When are we going to get serious about this? How do we get serious about it?

It is very important to get the evaluation right.

I share his concern over it. And look, I spent time with rural hospitals back home.

The number-one cause of death in Ohio today is heroin overdoses. It has now surpassed traffic accidents.

Our satisfaction rate is 85 percent, so people like this program.

Medicare Advantage is working. In Ohio, 38 percent of seniors are on it.

We have to come up with a common-sense way to address hospital inpatient and observation stays.

Honestly, it is health care. Health care is driving these long-term projections that are simply unsustainable.

the main driver of that cost reduction in Medicare is Medicare Part D.

It is time to deal with it in a comprehensive way.

I will be like a broken record on the audit thing until we get audits from all of our branches.

If we are not recruiting more women, you are not going to get women in the various positions that will allow the kind of integration that's going to ultimately make the Marine Corps stronger and better, and make our Nation more secure.

The current 1-to-2 deployment-to-dwell ratio is unsustainable.

I think people think an audit is like going to the dentist; you know, you know you've got do it, and it's going to be painful, and, when it's over, you're not sure that it really was worth it.

The only difference between the commitment to put this $40 billion in the budget... is the willingness to acknowledge that we are spending the money.

I would like your commitment to familiarize yourself with that training and a commitment that you will continue to fight for the adequate funding.

I just think it is a very, very irresponsible precedent.
