Diversity is actually good for business.

We are seeing more and more unintended consequences when companies lack a diverse body of employees.

I think it would be naive for us to believe that there isn't a motivation out there with the largest corporations in the world and getting more dominant and larger for them not to look at our children as consumers.

What is the mechanism to get parental consent for children under 13?

I think privacy and security are a form of corporate social responsibility in the digital age.

Thank you there, Mr. Chair and welcome to our witnesses.

I know that there is a 99.999 percent chance that that toy is not going to hurt my little granddaughter.

I know that consumer protection is something that we take for granted in this country.

Madam Chair, I certainly hope that we will get to that at some point here, because it is extremely important.

I commend you for that American business.

I wouldn't want to mischaracterize your business practices.

The Trump administration is strangling healthcare for millions of people and undermining the law of the land.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair and Ranking Member, for putting this very important hearing together in full view of the public.

individual patient choice.

the Affordable Care Act, as flawed as it is, has been trying to overcome.

What I would love to see is a future if this merger goes through, a future organization, the New T-Mobile as some people are calling it, to actually be more like Sprint.

I am really confused by that because this is our second hearing in the committee that has the broadest jurisdiction over healthcare costs of any other committee in Congress.

Anything less than that would be like we are treating them like sweaters left behind in a lost and found.

I happen to have been a small business owner at one time in a regulated industry and some of my colleagues would get upset when more regulations would come along.

I believe that doing nothing in today's space and watching the courts decide the fate of consumers, of smaller businesses, good actors like yourself, Mr. Franell.

This administration should never have had a family separation policy to begin with, but they made it worse...

Once a child has been traumatized like that, it is never going to be just fine after that fact.

I personally consider it an atrocity that any country would wholesale take action, intended action, of separating babies, children from their parents.

For some of us, this is literally a life-and-death situation and, as lawmakers, I hope that we don't lose sight of the fact of how critical this is.

This ruling, if upheld, would take away healthcare for tens of millions of Americans, including our most vulnerable, especially children and seniors.
