In New York as much as 50 percent lower than pre-ACA rates, is that not correct?

Ultimately, we need to have a country that works for everybody, and I think those of us who supported the Affordable Care Act, even when we would have preferred something different, and I am one of those.

I want to thank my colleagues and assure those who are here today and those who may read the accounts of this hearing that we all on this panel want to make sure that we do the best job we can for the American people.

It is the law. It has been upheld by the Supreme Court.

the idea that women should be charged up to 80 percent more than men for the same coverage, to me, is fundamentally unfair.

I truly believe that business is wise enough to come up with ideas to work around the situation because what is more important, your American workers living a healthful life, and coming to work, and giving out a good product, or them going…

I commend all of you for being here.

I want to thank my friend from Florida for his kind remarks. It was a wonderful competition. I would like to blame redistricting on the reversal of fortune that we've had over the last 2 years; but I can say in all honesty that it was a…

What the country clearly needs are policies that will encourage the modernization of America's capital stock...

As the reckless across-the-board cuts in Federal spending known as ``sequester'' continue, I want to share a letter I received from my constituents, Leslie and Brian Tucker: After being robbed by our home lender during the mortgage…

I think we should all challenge ourselves across, you know, the federal government, across agencies.

This is what my constituent, Barbara Kelty, wrote to the Louisville Courier-Journal this morning: While polls continue to say that a majority of NRA members and a sizable majority of the American people support background checks and a…

I want to thank you and my colleagues. I wasn't here; I was at another meeting... our thoughts obviously go out to all of the victims there.

Sequestration has been in effect for 41 days, and already it is hurting American families. Just outside my district at Fort Knox, more than 5,000 civilian employees face at least 2 weeks of furlough because of these indiscriminate cuts in…

Would it not be fair to say by the same logic because of the sequester, because of the Budget Control Act, the roughly $2 trillion worth of cuts that we have enacted over the last three years, that the Republicans got their cuts, and yet…
