Is the federal exchange going to be up and going on October 1?

many consumers may be able to pay $100 or less per person per month for coverage in 2014.

The investigation found that Navigators would help millions of people obtain health insurance coverage.

We have spent more than our share of time in this subcommittee on the Affordable Care Act talking about implementation.

I think it is our job as elected representatives of our constituents to go out there and tell people like this woman that they can have these benefits and get the insurance they need and save money.

So let me just ask you, as Mr. Dingell would say, could you just provide us with a short written answer what the agency is doing to ensure consumers' privacy about this information?

The Affordable Care Act is now the law of the land, and it is already bringing benefits to millions of Americans.

I wish, though, that we were pursuing some of this oversight in a less hyperbolic fashion.

I just want to point one last thing out, Mr. Chairman, which is we keep talking about this Administration decision to delay the reporting requirements under Section 7805(a) for the employers...

I am very pleased that we have started having oversight hearings on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

irrespective of whose fault the sequester was--and I don't think it was my fault because I voted no

I think we have just woefully underfunded our entire mental health system in this country.

I think this assisted outpatient treatment should be a tool that psychiatrists and mental institutions are allowed to have.

It is not in the mission of SAMHSA to tell patients not to take their medication, is that correct?

The Mental Health Parity Act...ensures that group health plans...do so in a manner that is comparable to coverage for general medical and surgical care.

Your passion about this issue is evident. We appreciate everything that you are doing to have these hearings on mental illness and gun violence.

I mean, it is not you that sits there and says I am going to spend 27 percent of my money on serious mental health; it is Congress that says that, right?

The implementation of the Affordable Care Act and continued support of SAMHSA programs that work will go a long way in ensuring that people with serious mental illness have access to the treatments they need.
