I think that is why we need legislation.

Though it has taken months, I am glad that Takata finally admitted that its airbags are defective, and finally moved forward with national recalls.

This provision makes an end run around the National Environmental Policy Act, and would eliminate meaningful review of the environmental impacts of proposed cross-border energy projects.

Getting dangerous cars off the road is crucial. Airbags are supposed to save lives, and not take lives.

Are financial incentives an effective means of ensuring compliance amongst manufacturers, in your opinion?

Had more information about Takata airbag ruptures been cataloged and diagnosed earlier, I believe lives could have been saved.

Cutting down on waste, fraud, and abuse is, and must remain, a priority for CMS, state Medicaid programs, and this Committee.

GAO reports that CMS has made several changes since 2011 to help limit improper payments.

The GAO next recommended that CMS apply more complete data for screening Medicaid providers.

The Vehicle Safety Improvement Act takes valuable lessons from those recalls and addresses existing weaknesses in information sharing, oversight, and accountability regarding auto safety.

But then are we are to assume that the reason Takata is stopping its production of these PSDI inflators is because they are unsafe?

Every dollar lost to misuse or fraud of our Federal health programs is one less dollar available to fund essential lifesaving medical services for Americans.
