I think it is going to be a huge problem, and it is going to be made worse if the application form is 21 pages long.

We are all in the middle of the transition to the Affordable Care Act and we are all kind of watching the Administration right now trying to implement things.

Moreover, Obama Care increases Federal Government control over U.S. health care system, increases the third-party payment problem, and reduces consumer choice.

We will work tirelessly in partnership with citizen watchdogs to deliver the facts to the American people to bring genuine reform to the Federal bureaucracy.

Independent experts believe that the Affordable Care Act, despite its name, might very well increase what Americans spend on health care, both in terms of money and in time.

Based on just typical behavior of individuals, there is this sense that individuals will stay out of the insurance market until they are sick because they have guaranteed coverage at this point.

Our duty on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee is to protect these rights.

I think the most important change we can make in our health care system to encourage price competition and quality competition would be to allow everybody to have a flexible health savings account.

I think that what we should be doing is making sure that it works.

You are doing a lot to push Americans to think about health care in different ways and to be able to encourage us to do some of those things as well.

I thank the gentleman. He is a man worthy of honor and worthy of spending the moment to be able to stop and discuss. Back on tax policy--which seems a mundane topic now compared to George Beverly Shea and all that he has done for our…

Thank you for those words of encouragement, because that is what we're all about. As simple as this is, everyone would look at this Tax Code, the few notes that I brought with me to be able to reference where we really are on tax policy…

This is a conversation about something that's very pertinent to all Americans right now, and that is their taxes. Obviously, this is tax week, which was punctuated by an incredibly difficult day in Boston. But this is also tax freedom day…

In a historic red brick building in Philadelphia, a man and his staff performed thousands of abortions under horrid conditions, which has led to a murder trial which is currently under way for seven children and one adult. Some children…

The children of today need to be able to see and experience what is happening at the Smithsonian, at the National Archives and in our national parks.

the reality of that is the middle class will pay more for energy in the days ahead, and that will be a middle-class tax.

If a cigarette tax goes in place, it decreases the usage of the cigarettes.
