The process seems to inhibit testing as opposed to expanding it.

The technology cannot be successful if it is hampered by regulations, over burdensome, time consuming approval process

Is this what we wanted in the Choice Act? Or is there a----

Can you tell me why it is so difficult, if there are difficulties, as to why only 1 percent of the veterans in Nevada would choose a Choice card or the program?

This 40-Mile Rule means a lot to the veterans in my State.

You can see the implementation of a bill like this and the impact that it has on the veterans in my State.

I think we have accomplished a lot in this hearing today, and your efforts during the recess to help with this flexibility issue for care at non-VA facilities, I think, will go a long way.

But we have seen in the State of Nevada, actually, a doubling in the Medicaid population. Here is the problem: we may have doubled our Medicaid population, but we do not have a corresponding increase in the number of Medicaid providers.

The purpose of the Affordable Care Act was to guarantee that all Americans have the same bad healthcare.

I do not believe that the best method to handle the concerns of throttling, blocking and paid prioritization was by reclassifying the Internet under title II of the 1934 Communications Act.

This Title II decision made by this Commission is to guarantee all Americans the same bad Internet service.

Will you consider Dodd-Frank's regulations during the EGRPRA process?

If you have to spend $1 million to open up a bank in America today, how many more banks do you anticipate are going to pay that price?

We have small banks in Nevada that are being audited by the Feds. There are no exceptions, clean books, but then being required--required--to hire another compliance officer.

I think that is good for the State of Nevada. We would bring more people in to portions of our State, and I think it is a core function of this government.

I do not believe people are always right--or always wrong for that matter--and when the President is right, I support him, but when he is wrong, I do not.

I do vehemently oppose these cuts.

The chairman of Ways and Means recently introduced legislation--I believe it is called the Stop Targeting of Political Beliefs by the IRS Act--that would bar the IRS from changing the guidelines for tax-exempt 401(c)(4) groups until the…

Taxpayers this year are likely to receive the worst level of taxpayer services since at least 2001 when the IRS implemented its current performance measures.

The fact is that this administration's policies have put up barriers to economic growth.

I think for most of the American people, that is where they come down.
