we would greatly, greatly prefer a national GMO labeling solution.

we believe that a factual, informative, nonjudgmental disclosure on the back of the package would help address this confusion.

It is our job as policymakers, particularly as it relates to the public health, to establish a factually and scientifically sound foundation prior to taking any action that would impact consumers and our economy.

I fully understand why consumers want to know what goes into the food they serve their families.

I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Speaker, I yield now to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), our Democratic leader.

I believe that simply turning Medicare into a voucher is shortsighted and simply shifts costs onto seniors and people with disabilities.

Many Governors, even Republican ones, even mine have opted to participate in the Medicaid expansion offered as part of the ACA because it is good for their States and good for their citizens.

When providers listed as participating in a plan cannot offer appointments, it may create a significant obstacle for an enrollee seeking care.

My big concern about the Medicaid expansion has been that you are putting more people into this program.

To expect Medicaid to do that on some notion that an already lean program can somehow be magically more efficient makes no sense at all.

I believe the current low-income protections are inadequate.

Should Congress be concerned that the shortage of doctors and low participation rates in Medicaid along with the Medicaid expansion means that the most vulnerable patients will face worse access problems?
