96 percent of businesses, is that correct, are exempted from Obamacare?

I think that that particular provision of the law that allows the small businesses to pool was a good idea, and I think we probably would have gotten the bipartisan support to actually pass that here.

Thank you for trying to diminish the tremendous damage that has been done by this law.

Do you want to be shot or do you want to be hung, either way, you are going to have an Exchange.

Madam Chairman, I cannot tell you how much I am an advocate for exactly what the Teamsters have said.

When I first ran for this job back in 2008, America was focused on a real need to reform our health care system.

One of the difficulties I have is that we keep getting reports that the cost of health care keeps going up, notwithstanding the fact that everybody was promised it would go down.

Only in Washington, D.C. would we think receiving 100 percent of nothing is better than receiving 62.5 percent of something.

I urge the committee to look at this possibility as part of a larger offshore energy policy.

If our country can level the playing field, unlock private sector investment in clean energy, and continue investing in innovation, this is also a challenge that America can meet.

Well, you know, from an economic standpoint that is ridiculous.

Thanks all, and I want to thank all of you for coming today on what is a serious subject.
