We owe it to every hard-working American to ensure this fundamental right is preserved in the workplace.

The policies reflected in the bill worked well for decades and should continue to govern union organizing efforts.

The intimidation of workers is phenomenal, and I hear it over and over.

It is anybody who the union allows to come to help the patient. Well that is not caring. That is not the way we ought to be moving forward as a nation.

Access is being diminished to care.

We ought to be talking about patients.

The quality of care for cancer patients in this country is being harmed because of a decrease in access to care.

Heaven forbid that the patient should be cared for in the physician's office, I understand that.

That is not going to lead to a thriving middle class.

This bill is harmful to the economy, harmful to job creation.

At the end of the day, it is patients and families and doctors that ought to be making these decisions about what kind of care they receive, and not anybody else.

People ought to be sitting up and taking notice as we use terms like 'soft paternalism' and 'rationing' within almost the same paragraph.

What we are not in favor of is increasing revenue, is increasing taxes on either business or hard-working taxpayers across this land to chase ever increasing spending.

The status quo is clearly unacceptable.

I want to commend the chairman for holding this hearing, and I want to also recognize and commend the chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Ryan, for his work within our conference in educating people about the need for reform, but also…

I think that the American people by and large want us to get the job done.

As a physician, I can tell you that the doctors across this land and the patients across this land are very concerned, and that the pact that they have with each other, the ability to be able to provide the highest quality of healthcare in…

I think that I want to welcome you, Mr. Zients, but I think the American just have a huge frustration about what is happening here in Washington, and they do not get a sense that anybody is dealing with the issues honestly and…

Why do you think anybody would come up with a public policy that wants to do away with facilities that provide higher quality at lower costs?

I want to commend you for holding this hearing. The costs in health care are a concern for all. I would respectfully suggest that the major fundamental change that has occurred in health care over the past 2 years has been the bill that…

The folks that I hear from back home want to make--nobody wants anybody to go without help when they need it.

I think what the American people appreciate is that you don't reinvigorate the economy by raising taxes.
