This education is absolutely critical for us, as well as the public.

I think you can sense my frustration, as the county executive of a very poor county, being treated like we were from Westchester County.

I believe taxpayer money is more important than a smooth transition when it comes to $265 million in losses adding to our debt.

putting any type of delay into this sphere of personalized medicine and treatment especially in the cancer and oncology world runs the risk frankly of causing people to die

you have paid this lip service and, frankly, little more than lip service.

I think it's just important to note again that it's a little concerning that CMS is making a $91 million loan based on what sounds like an analysis done by the New York State Department of Insurance, which ultimately was proven, by the…

This was set up for failure from day one. The insurance companies knew it was going to fail.

ObamaCare was set up for failure. It was set up to encourage low premiums, to deceive the American public.

This is ObamaCare at its worst. It's not surprising to me. I saw this coming 3 years ago.

I can't say I feel sorry for the American taxpayers who are bearing this financial burden who were deceived from day one.

I have a sign in my office, 'In God we trust, all others bring data.'

It is a sign of arrogance. It is a sign of not admitting yet the severity of your problem.

I think it is the fundamental responsibility of parents in the United States to take care of their kids.

At some point, at the Federal level, we just need to trust the judgments of our elected officials in the 50 states and our territories to do what is right by their folks and not try to nuance this in a way that, quite frankly, is…

When commonsense meets good Government, I think that is a good day for all of us.

You are going to look at your cost, you are going to look at your return and say, you know what, sorry, just not going to sell it into that market anymore. That is what America is all about, with choice and competition.

You can't defend the indefensible.

The taxpayers deserve more.

Why aren't we going after this contractor?

I would suggest you set different standards for yourselves, ones that respect the B in billions.

I am going to stand up in front of my residents, and I am going to talk about this hearing, and they are going to be shaking their heads in total disbelief.

It is disgusting. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars. It is setting the bar so low that, yes, I guess, we had a goal of 5.
