I think we also need to achieve the goal for the patient who is unconscious, who is very elderly and perhaps at the end of their life, who is perhaps not at their full mental capacity, to have the data system work, even when the patient is…

I think that having the card and having a mechanism by which the individual patient has access to their data is one of the important goals that we need to achieve.

We've spent an enormous amount of money on Meaningful Use.

My particular concern comes from my Rhode Island experience.

This is such an important issue, and Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray have embarked on a committee-wide process to take a look at health information technology and information exchange.

I'm a little over my time, but I'd like to hear your----

It strikes me that as part of this conversation--and I'd love to get the range of thoughts from the table--that we should be talking about a couple of additional things.

I'm totally on board, Dr. Alexander, with the idea that we should look at higher education funding in somewhat the same way we look at transportation funding.

It's time to modernize Lifeline so more American families can benefit from the democracy and opportunity engine of the 21st century.

Verizon supports efforts to reform, modernize and add accountability to the Lifeline program, and the bill introduced by Representative Matsui and Senators Murphy and Booker is an important contribution to those efforts.

The Broadband Adoption Act of 2015 addresses a critical need in our nation--closing the digital divide by bringing affordable broadband within the reach of struggling households.

Broadband access has become a fundamental requirement of social and economic inclusion and ensures that every segment of our population can fully participate in the information age.

For Americans trying to move out of poverty and succeed in our modern economy, broadband access is absolutely crucial.

We welcome the reintroduction of the Broadband Adoption Act by Rep. Doris Matsui and Senators Chris Murphy and Cory Booker, and the renewed focus it shines on the important issue of broadband adoption.

Doing nothing just isn't an option.

I take the caution of adverse consequences seriously, but we always have to consider the adverse consequences of doing nothing.

So the consequence of a paradigm shift in which the only cases that you're allowed to review are cases that are brought to you effectively renders individuals like this absolutely helpless.

I think it would be a great thing for employers if you stopped filing systemic lawsuits, because you win them.

I do not think that it is any sign of weakness in an alliance or weakness within the scope of a treaty to admit that there are countries that are playing with security guarantees.

I do not see any price being paid at all.

One lesson that has to be crystal clear to China is that the Russians and the Russian economy have paid a devastatingly high price for an ill-considered tactical move.

A lack of a robust response from the United States and Europe in Ukraine kind of sets this new set of rules.

China is the world's largest carbon emitter, and its carbon emissions will continue to grow for at least the next decade.

These agreements are critical for maintaining a robust nuclear industry.

I am supportive of the development of nuclear power. It remains a smart and effective way for the United States to achieving independence and to reduce our carbon emissions.
