I have asked this question about the protection in terms of privacy breaches in our country to just about every CEO I have met.

We don't like Big Brother. We don't like people having information on us.

The American people are, I think they have privacy in their DNA.

That in and of itself is a bit menacing, isn't it?

When that privacy goes out the window it really puts a dent in people's lives.

I want to know when they did it, when they took care of it.

Well, we obviously need to reauthorize. That is absolutely essential, it is critical.

Ms. Castor. You are right. And it is back on the Congress in a lot of ways. And I hope that they are listening and understand the huge cost if we do not address this.

I want to thank each one of you for what you do, first of all.

I think that you have all made the case, the nurses, everything that you are doing at the county hospital, that the funding has to be appropriate for it.

You have spoken to a magnificent part of the infrastructure of our country.

There are really underserved people that now are being served so much better because of the new community health center.

I was successful at adding a provision in the 21st Century Cures Act that designated pediatric mental health professionals to be eligible.

No one sends their kids off to college and says, well, I am going to pay for room and board, but I am not paying for your tuition.

Well, clearly this has really been overlooked, and my sense is that it rests more with the FDA than the Congress.

I want to commend the authors of the legislation for addressing something that evidently has been overlooked for decades.

I think that is just part of the ongoing work of the agency and the Congress.

I can't imagine my life without public broadcasting. It is where I receive my news. I trust that.

This is an important hearing, and it is timely because of the challenges of the hurricanes.

I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois for yielding and for her leadership and work on the great Energy and Commerce Committee in the House. My congressional district is home to the engineers, innovators, and developers who are pioneering…

I hope everyone is listening to this. Because we are dealing with frail, elderly people that are far more vulnerable.

the House passed a bill that fundamentally restructures the Medicaid program by implementing per capita caps and block grants.

I am fascinated by the question of our colleague from Georgia about why does it have to be this way?

We have got our heads in the sand here, because we are talking about how to do this, what it is, reauthorizing and meanwhile in the larger bubble, there is a wrecking ball that is going up against Medicaid.

I think anyway, Medicaid is hanging by a thread. I think it is hanging by a thread.
