I have serious concerns about tracking practices, especially the undisclosed data gathering of user behavior.

I appreciate the work that we have done over several years on the issues of Internet security and your leadership on this issue.

I am also a cosponsor of Congressman Markey's Do Not Track Kids Act, which would offer enhanced protections against the tracking of children and teens.

I would like for you to restate that expectation.

I think this discussion is just really ironic, this attack on IPAB given the fact that the Republican plan would instead turn over the Medicare program to private insurance who would have no constraints whatsoever in raising their rates…

Switzerland says in the basic package, insurance companies can't make any profit.

I think it is insulting to older Americans to say that now they are just spending their days just having a great time at the doctor.

The issue of access I think, you know, is on everyone's mind.

I am out of time, but let us get it right--

The current Medicare Secondary Payer system is making it extremely difficult to settle claims in a prompt and efficient manner.

I want this to go right.

I am picturing a balkanization of lots of different insurance companies in charge of the whole program and the effect that that could have on beneficiaries.

I believe in Medicare and that we want to make this system as strong as possible, the trust fund as strong as possible.

There is no requirement for notice in the event of a data breach involving paper records.

Do you believe it is appropriate for the covered person to make the ultimate determination about the risk posed to consumers from a data breach and whether notice to the FTC and consumers is required; and, if not, who should make that…

This committee has a history of working in a bipartisan basis

H.R. 2221 from the last Congress and the Republican discussion draft of the SAFE Data Act require notice to the FTC and consumers of an electronic data breach only if the covered person has determined that the breach, quote, "presents a…

We need to focus on, I think, where those differences are

I feel confident that we will be able to craft a bill

The American people aren't stupid. They will understand that this is another doubling down on cutting Medicare. It will be apparent by the end of this day.

May I ask how much time remains? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois has 30 seconds remaining.

We're talking about poor seniors and middle class people. Don't support this plan. Announcement by the Acting Chair The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to refrain from trafficking the well while another Member is under recognition.

That is interesting, that the gentleman is criticizing the Democrats on Medicare, when he and all but four other Republicans voted for a plan that essentially ends Medicare.

Just the people who need it, right? Just the people who need a tax break. Isn't that astonishing that they should actually pay less?

It is time for millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. This isn't about punishment or revenge. It is about fairness.
