I introduced the Drug Safety and Accountability Act last year, to increase both industry and regulatory controls to ensure drug safety and protect patients.

the incentives are not really there for innovation in quality.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I want to thank you and Senator Burr for your bipartisan commitment to ensuring that our children have access to safe and high-quality childcare.

The greatest challenge to quality most likely... it would be simply devastating to the families that receive care.

It's basic economics that one of the surest ways to bring down prices is through open and tough competition.

The exchange will bring transparency and competition to markets which in many areas of the country have become stagnant.

In passing the Affordable Care Act, we enacted reforms to tame this runaway premium growth.

Health reform also gives State insurance regulators unprecedented new resources to fight for consumers.

If insurers have to compete on price, rates will come down.

I think that's well said, and I think everything that you said is true.

I think it's high time for us to take a look at that.
