Discussing the premise of physicians basing therapy on reimbursement is just--it's almost an insult to the medical profession.

This model represents a dangerous precedent where future administrations could change the statutory reimbursement for any provider or service.

Thank you to Congressman Bucshon for introducing H.R. 5122.

I would just like to echo the words of Mr. Tonko. This is good legislation. It improves the Medicaid program. It ensures access to quality providers for our Medicaid recipients in all of our States. Also, it helps our States to determine…

This is the type of legislation that we should be passing on the House floor, and I will urge the Senate to pass this legislation later. This is just good government. It corrects some obvious flaws in the Medicaid program that will protect…

Last month Congresswoman Susan Brooks, Senator Dan Coats, and I sent you a letter expressing our concern about CMS's decision...

One of the failures of the ACA is addressing coverage and not addressing cost.

Medicaid is a critical program. I was a physician in my previous career. I am still a physician but now I am here.

In my view, every product that is approved by the FDA should be available to America's seniors and the limiting factor should not be the ability of CMS to stonewall and not pay for it.

I would argue that better plans than that were available before the Affordable Care Act.

My constituents are complaining about the deductibles also.

In Indiana we are using Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 to cover those citizens.

The Medicaid program... doesn't reimburse providers at a level that many will accept.

I want everyone in our country to have access to quality, affordable health care.

I want to know the person that made the decision to give them the money.

Given the worsening epidemic, it is time for Congress to act once more.

I think all of us want everyone to have access to quality, affordable care. That is not in question.

This is purely about pro-choice people trying to protect the organization that performs, what, 40 percent of the abortions in the United States.

The reality is that, if people were losing their jobs, this would be standardized.

There is no accountability across the Federal Government in my view. No one is responsible.

I mean, to me this hearing is astounding, honestly. And I hate to admit but in the 4 1/2 years that I have been here, this is not the only Government agencies that we are hearing, testifying in front of a Congress saying they are…

How many people across the Government have been fired over this problem?

90 years ago today, the deadliest tornado in U.S. history passed through the southwestern Indiana towns of Griffin, Owensville, and Princeton. Named the Great Tri-State Tornado, the deadly cyclone traveled three States and 219 miles over…

I would argue that we should all on both sides of this discussion avoid scare tactics.
