Access to medical care is a real problem, and that has to be considered.

Senator Wyden, thank you very much for coming up with the term 'byzantine regulatory process.'

I want to thank you and Senator Wyden for working on a bipartisan bill.

I'm really pleased to see the hard work your office has done to advance the interoperability of health IT.

We need to really focus on that, what patients want, rather than how we are just putting information into a system.

It is very clear, as has been said by Senator Wyden, from the report that there was gross mismanagement of the exemption application process for these targeted groups.

It is clear this was a massive effort. And I remain deeply concerned and, worse, have no confidence that we will have all of the information we need to make a final determination on the IRS activities.

I'm certainly interested in innovative ways that would help us solve those challenges.

I hope that we can continue that bipartisan spirit as we now work on higher education as well.

This is an important piece of work that we're talking about today to help us grow our economy from the middle out.

I yield to the distinguished Ranking Member.

I think there is going to be a lot of meaningful dialogue that can come of this.
