It amazes me that we continue to hear that ACA is not working when we can see, if we put in perspective, more than 8 million people have marketplace health insurance plans.

I appreciate the presence here today and the leadership for this hearing from our colleague Karen Bass of California who heads our Foster Care Caucus.

We need to separate out what is a problem generally worthy of medicated treatment and what is better served by a social worker.

I really appreciate all she has done for this effort.

New York has been a leader in trying to address the problems of overmedicated--overmedicating foster youth.

2006 data suggests that there was a big gap of $67 billion unreported of corporate income and I would like to know how we are trying to figure out ways to recapture and collect some of that money.

I want to follow up a little bit on a question that was raised by Representative Sanchez.

Taxpayers deserve better.

For the very first time, the Affordable Care Act has opened the doors for millions of Americans to access for healthcare.

Everything that I have read, seen or heard suggests that we have had a pretty smooth tax filing system and experience this year.

The agency sorely needs adequate resources in order to provide our taxpayers with the service they expect and deserve.

Well, if you have, I think it would be a great idea to work with GAO because it continues to show up, the recommendations.

the cries are about employer responsibility regulations, which were designed by the Treasury to help employers transition to the new ACA requirements.

she is happy, healthy, and covered because of ACA.

they will not give up the attempt to deny that it is the law of the land and it is working.

the ACA eliminates job lock, empowering Americans to change jobs, to become entrepreneurs, and to leave work to take care of a child or a sick loved one.

the uninsured rate in America is the lowest since 2008.

Can we count on you to oppose any effort to restrict access to adequate supplies of sugar from Mexico?

Thousands of jobs in Chicago are directly related to the availability of sugar at a competitive price.

I trust that when you leave Congress you will always relish the memory of that.

As you have indicated, there is a long history of trade disputes involving sugar and sweetener trade between the U.S. and Mexico.

Supporting young children and families is critical to preventing harm and strengthening children.

Are you aware that the Federal Government, based upon your research, has been very instrumental in making these programs work, and work effectively?

Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, let me just thank you on assembling one of the most outstanding panels I think that I have heard testify on this matter.

I guess the reason I indicated--I said that for all of my life I have been associated--I have lived in low-income communities all of my life, growing up, and, of course, even today.
