So if somebody wanted, somebody like, for example, a member of Congress, wanted to go on the federal marketplace and look and see what plans were available, they could go on October 1.

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

So to sign up on the marketplaces and exchanges, people aren't even going to have to divulge that kind of information.

I find it really unfortunate that many of these organizations are facing distracting scrutiny while they prepare to begin this important work.

I find the suggestion that these organizations... are going to prey on people by stealing their identities to be utterly without foundation.

The ACA is going to allow millions of Americans to obtain affordable insurance for the first time ever.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

Bioterrorism remains a threat to our nation, and BioWatch's detection capabilities are critical.

If a release of anthrax was detected before it began to adversely affect people, public health officials could take action.

In my opinion, none of us those were timely.

TSCA really needs to be updated to keep pace with modern technology and to augment the EPA's resources and authority.

TSCA was enacted over 30 years ago and it is the only major environmental law in this country that has not been reauthorized.

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

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

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

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?

And some of those patient advocacy groups may in fact tell their people not to take drugs, is that correct?
