Madam Secretary, we are losing a lot of money to Medicare fraud, Medicaid fraud as well, and we are going to be having a hearing on this in the Aging Committee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Madam Secretary, thank you for your public service.

Well, you know the attacks against the President's proposal and the amendment 4 years ago. It is going to reduce research, it is going to limit access, it is going to result in higher consumer prices.

all the new doctors we are going to need to implement the health care bill, we cannot keep cutting graduate medical education, which is a Medicare subsidy for residents.

I would urge you and Senator Hatch to get this legislation moving.

We, of course, are trying to get results, Mr. Administrator.

But, your problem is one of dollars.

Unfortunately, I think most of us think that this sequester's not going to go away until the new fiscal year, so we are facing a problem--as we would say in Florida, 'a problema.'

Well, you don't give me a lot to report back to my 14 airports. They are very grateful, by the way, that some of them that were going to be closed in April are not going to be closed until June.

If we fail to reverse the decrease in FAA's budget, we will not have an aviation system that we need to compete in a global economy.

Sequestration is not our friend, and it's affecting every aspect of the FAA's operations.
