I would encourage that type of an investment where there is already proven--a proven cost-benefit.

the most important players in the system, the people who provide the care for all of us, are not only not the beneficiaries of the system that you describe as so opaque but are, I think, the victims of it too.

I thank so much the gentleman from Georgia for his hard work on this issue, working with our colleague, Mr. Yoho of Florida, and organizing this freshman initiative designed to tackle overly burdensome regulations, ensure that we produce…

But even then, Doctor, the best that people can do is maybe figure out what they have been charged--maybe.
