I am glad we have this opportunity to talk about the serious problem we are seeing with disinformation and misinformation.

I think that we are probably so boring that we are probably losing our seven listeners who bothered to even chime in today.

Yes, 13(b) is critical, and I hope that we can legislatively put that right once and for all.

Is it fair to say that bad actors who are taking advantage of people with these schemes related to the pandemic would be emboldened should the FTC lose its power to return the money back to the American people when they have been scammed?

It is imperative that the Congress act quickly, so that the FTC can continue to effectively protect American consumers.

It is very concerning to me that we hear these stories over and over, and during the worst pandemic we have seen in over 100 years.

thanks to the ACA, approximately 20 million Americans have gained coverage through the law's various coverage protections.

Most certainly, if bad actors know that they will not be held accountable for taking consumers' money, they will double down on those efforts.

Thank you so much. Appreciate it to the ranking member of the full committee and the subcommittee.

That would be devastating, I think, to the effort to protect consumers and to restore funds that were--ill-gotten gains entitled to get that back.

I think the more civil enforcement cops on the beat, if you will, that are protecting consumers, the better.

I am very proud of the American businesses and the kind of overall 99.9 percent of following the rules and following the laws.
