"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and again congratulations on your selection as chairman of this committee, which again is a great committee."
"I think we have a great team on both sides of the aisle, and obviously this could be a real sort of historic year given the topic that we are going to discuss this afternoon."
"It is a bilateral, verifiable agreement that gives us some degree of predictability on what our potential adversaries look like."
"Again, I think there are a lot of people who are serious, people who actually do know the complexity of the health insurance market, that could address these problems."
"Again, I ask that the 'AP Fact Check, ObamaCare is not in a Death Spiral' be entered into the record."
"So, again, there are solutions here to deal with some of the instability that exists in the market, but, frankly, that is not what we are hearing from the Republican majority. It is too bad."
"That is not an indicator of a death spiral."
"To the extent, again, looking forward, there is uncertainty regarding the future of the subsidies, that is what is making insurers skittish about actually participating in the 2018 enrollment period."
"the narrative that started this hearing, which is that somehow these union rules, unionization rules are somehow acting as a drag on the U.S. economy."
"If you're looking at what's good for this country, what's good for Americans, there is no doubt that unionization has brought up wages, has increased people having pensions."
"there is absolutely no data whatsoever that supports the notion that there is a proliferation of microunits."
