As noted above, a National Coverage Analysis on beta-amyloid PET scans is underway to reconsider a prior National Coverage Determination on Medicare coverage of PET scans.

I would urge the administration and yourself to relook at the medical device tax as a way to fund the Affordable Care Act and look for other options.

I strongly believe all workers deserve strong protections against employment discrimination.

This is not the only hearing that we have heard from people who depend on so-called discretionary spending at the Federal level.

Let me add a few final comments. Again, on the things that we can agree on, many of us agree on children up to age 25 or 26. A lot of us agree that we need to look at finding ways to expand the affordability of health care. Remember, this…

I would agree with that. And let me tell you, there are some things that we could have agreed on that we could have made some advances on in health care reform. Preexisting conditions, all of us agree. I had a patient that had Hodgkin's…

Thank you, Dr. Roe, for yielding. It's great to be here with many members of the Doctors' Caucus and again remember the focus of what we are trying to do here is focusing on the patient, what's best for the American people and our…

I practice in southern Indiana where I get patients from southern Illinois, northern Kentucky, and southern Indiana. Every year, the Illinois Medicaid system ran out of money before the end of the year, September-October. They just ran out…

I'm here to comment on the administration playing politics in an attempt to maximize the impact of his sequester on the American people and, in this case, the aviation system and the traveling public. The FAA's operating budget has grown…

I am interested to learn how effectively these programs are being coordinated across the different federal agencies to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being leveraged effectively.

I fully support, obviously, scientific research, and I think that we want to make sure that as the Federal Government we are not short-sighted in our role as it comes--as it relates to funding basic science research.

Instead of, in my view, showing leadership, the President has spent his time in office defending a healthcare law that makes matters even worse.

Because of the Administration's failed leadership and failed economic policies, we are left with non-targeted cuts in sequestration and ongoing record deficits and debt.

Unfortunately, the President's proposed Fiscal Year 2014 budget boils down to accounting gimmicks.

I don't see any evidence that Obama-care will lower medical costs in the future; instead it irresponsibly adds to our yearly deficit and total national debt in spite of the misguided rhetoric to the contrary from the Administration.

House Republicans have tried to address these issues by passing responsible budgets for the past three years.

At this point I don't see any evidence the Affordable Care Act will lower medical costs in the future.

Tomorrow's prosperity depends on what we do today.

We are here today to discuss the positive reforms within the SKILLS Act. Our Nation's current job training system is broken. The SKILLS Act will give state and local governments more flexibility by consolidating 35 existing federal…

I believe STEM education is an essential element in America's economic growth and competitiveness.

We have to help people understand the opportunities available for them as well as understand that education is affordable, and it is also attainable.

I want to welcome everyone to today's Research subcommittee hearing on the issue of scientific integrity and transparency.

Scientists receiving federal funding need to be accountable and responsible stewards of tax-payer resources.

Without open access to data, there can be neither integrity nor transparency from the conclusions reached by the scientific community.

In my State, in Indiana over the past 8 years, we have streamlined and made more effective State government.
