Madam Secretary, please help us reassure our constituents that the Administration is going to deal with the reality that is hitting the ground, and that is people are losing their doctor and now they are losing their hospital.

It is important that any closing of special-interest loopholes be used to lower tax rates--not to pay for new spending.

A tax code that is simpler and fairer will make the economy stronger so there are more jobs and bigger paychecks.

The Tax Reform Act of 2014, released last week, achieves these goals and includes ideas advanced by Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

As a result, they will see fewer hours and lower wages, and that is the opposite of the direction we need to be going.

the 30-hour rule in the healthcare law... is forcing employers to make the tough decision of cutting hours and workers.

Those at highest risk are workers in predominately low-wage industries that are right on the cusp of what is considered full-time work under the law.

the employer mandate is bad for business and, in turn, bad for American workers.
