Consumers want more protection--not less.

It's important that we take these opinions and concerns into account as we move forward with this hearing today.

I support the agency's desire to do more to protect consumers.

It is important that we take these opinions and concerns into account as we move forward with this hearing today.

For more than a decade, an overwhelming majority of Americans have agreed that privacy is fundamentally important on the Internet.

It seems that it was a big win for consumers and it puts the FCC's privacy proposals on firm legal ground.

I have always been a strong supporter of net neutrality and the FCC's net neutrality rules.

I am encouraged by the over $830 million we directed toward this effort in fiscal year 2016.

Antibiotic resistance is a significant domestic and global threat to both public health and national security.

I am a strong supporter of energy efficiency programs, and again I am confused by some of the claims being made by members of today's panel.

Efficiency standards for consumer appliances and other products likely constitute the single most effective Federal effort to reduce energy consumption in the U.S.

The appliance and equipment efficiency standards program at the Department of Energy (DOE) has been incredibly successful over the years in reducing energy consumption and lowering consumers' energy bills.

I believe a serious, successful energy policy for our Nation must address demand, not just supply.

The Appliance and Equipment Efficiency Standards Program at the Department of Energy has been incredibly successful over the years in reducing energy consumption and lowering consumers' energy bills.

Does the law mandate that a standard be updated every 6 years regardless of any other fact pattern?

Does the law require a standard be reviewed every 6 years? Yes or no.

Several witnesses have referred to mandatory serial rulemakings.

The Affordable Care Act has made great strides in expanding health coverage to an additional 20 million Americans, but there are still Americans who we have not reached.

Because of the passage of the ACA, millions of American families have access to affordable quality health care and our country's overall uninsured rate has fallen to a historic low.

I am concerned that collecting and submitting this documentation may prove difficult and could lead to gaps in health coverage.

It is important for SEPs to maintain some flexibility so that individuals can get coverage in a reasonable amount of time.

I believe there are ways we can strengthen and improve the law. However, I am concerned that this hearing is taking a cynical approach to doing so.

I oppose any legislation that disrupts the continuity of care for patients.

Many older Americans can't afford to pay five times as much as people who are younger than they.

Twenty million more people now have health insurance, and a new University of Michigan study shows that the ACA has reduced racial and ethnic disparities in coverage.
