For my general knowledge--I do not know--is suicide more common among certain--clearly, suicide would be more common among people who have addictions.

It seems like if ever there were a place for both distributed energy and distributed storage, that would be Puerto Rico.

Easier to put up solar panels than to rebuild lines across the mountain.

I think there's a present opportunity to utilize it as a test bed to integrate all sorts of renewables.

I look at the people of Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas with great empathy because that was our state 10 years ago.

A one-size-fits-all approach is not the answer.

There is a Merriam-Webster definition of affordable; it means you can afford, as opposed to the $39,000 premiums in the ACA for those in the individual market.

We need to pass the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson amendment, returning power to patients and States while expanding access to coverage for millions.

But it is the answer.

If you look at the stock prices of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and for-profit hospitals since Obamacare passed, they have done extremely well.

Reductions in provider payment rates could limit access to specialists and make it more difficult to support integrated delivery systems.

It is 148 pages, not 990 pages as was the Affordable Care Act.

Before being Senator Cassidy, I was Dr. Cassidy, caring for uninsured and Medicaid patients in Louisiana's public hospital system.

My colleagues, it is a privilege to speak to the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson amendment to H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act.

Absolutely. Senator Heller, folks say you are losing the Medicaid expansion dollars. No, you still get them; you just get them in a flexible block grant.

This plan gives States the flexibility to innovate and create health-care systems.

Delivery system reform efforts would be challenging in a per-capita cap or block grant environment.

It is in the flexible block grant. States can choose to spend that as they wish.

We need to pass Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson, returning power to patients and States, while expanding access to coverage for millions.
