I am pleased we are holding this oversight hearing on the legislation that we passed last year on a bipartisan basis.

They didn't come forward with any proposal at all. They even said they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it.

The Republicans oppose this law, they fought it every step of the way, they thought that the Court would throw it out.

I called a previous hearing of the committee a monkey court. I will call this the monkey wrench.

The Upton bill is the monkey wrench that they are trying to throw in to basically destroy Obamacare.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

I don't believe that there is any interest on the part of the Republicans to fix any of the problems that are occurring with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.

I want a one-word answer. Is the existing system where nearly 50 million Americans are uninsured a success or a failure?

I am a proud cosponsor of this legislation, and I strongly support its goal of completely eliminating the cruel and inhumane practice of 'soring' from horse shows.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank you and Ms. Eshoo for your courtesy in allowing me to go forward.

Sixty percent of the uninsured individuals shopping in the new marketplaces will be able to get coverage for less than $100 per month.

So the Affordable Care Act, we're going to end the worst abuses of insurance companies...

Well, now they're going to have this health security.

Never again will a family be denied coverage because their child has a chronic health condition.

They said that the costs for health care would skyrocket, and, in fact, the opposite is true.

Let's do something constructive, not just negative attacks against a bill that I think is going to be a Godsend for millions of Americans.

They said tens of millions will lose their insurance, but, in fact, everybody in this country is going to have access to health insurance.

They said it would explode the deficit, and yet all the reputable organizations... have told us that it's going to save us $100 billion over 10 years.

The Affordable Care Act is working. It has been improving the health security of millions of Americans for the past 3 years.

They said there would be a massive shift to part-time jobs, and the evidence doesn't support that.

If we don't enforce this policy, insurance companies can continue offering flimsy coverage that disappears when people actually need it.

The bottom line is that people with good coverage, like Medicare, Medicaid, employer coverage, can keep that.

I was one of those who thought it was a good idea as a part of a proposal that was floating around the halls here in Congress that the President and the cabinet secretaries ought to also be in the marketplace and not have a special Federal…
