Is this a sustainable path, that is, counting on Medicaid to be the safety net.

A lot of people think, well, we have got Medicaid, so I will be okay if there is a problem out there.

The null hypothesis, if we do nothing, is incredibly expensive

If we do not design a program, we are still going to pay for it. We are just going to pay for it in some really terrible ways

The lack of a basic safety net on long-term care is just more fuel to the fire on the kind of problems we are going to face.

I rise today to honor one of the great leaders in the history of Boston. It might seem odd to describe a man who is still with us today, alive and well, as a figure in history, but in the almost 400 years since Boston was founded, a…

We should not be loading our students down with debt that they are going to be obligated to deal with for a lifetime when they did not get an education in return for that.

So America and its allies are committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and we are committed to protecting our allies throughout the region, including Israel.

I rise to join my colleagues in urging support for S. 1610, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2013. This is a bipartisan bill that will help homeowners across our country who are getting hit with the newly revised flood…

Of course, the interim deal does not give us everything that we want. That is the nature of a negotiation. Each side has to give a little.

We have got to give the information to our students and to the Federal Government so that we are not pouring more resources into a place that is not providing a top quality education.

If accreditors are doing the main thing we need them to do, which is to crackdown on poor performing schools, that there is a problem here.

The value of the temporary sanctions relief, I take it from all you have said, is minuscule in comparison to Iran's economy.

Should there be a bright-line beyond which we say a school should not be accredited?

It is essential to ensure that our taxpayer dollars are going to schools that are good stewards of this investment.

This dual-track policy that we are on now--imposing tough sanctions on Iran while engaging them diplomatically--I think reflects this commitment, and that approach has clearly brought Iran to the negotiating table.

I really am asking a when question. What is your timeline for when we are going to get these identifications, this information, into the hands of consumers?

So it can be done in six months if it involves safety.

There are reserve requirements that could be lessened for lending to the SME community.

So, Dr. Woodcock, I actually--remember, I actually worked at one of these regulatory agencies and got this process started.

It is not only whether or not finance serves to help support the manufacturing we need, but whether or not finance has actually helped destroy much of the manufacturing we need.

So you are telling me that this is going to be a real priority for the FDA and that you are going to get this rule through.

Are you saying you have some doubt about whether or not giving patients information that is effective, about how they should take their medications, is within the scope of the authority of the FDA?

I want to apologize for being late. We are doing flood insurance on the floor and have a Banking hearing going on simultaneously.

If the FDA cannot commit to get this done in a reasonable time, then it is time for Congress to act.
