Greg Walden actually said...

Individuals and families served by Medicaid are not just program enrollees, they are our neighbors. They are our friends.

The days of putting overbearing, unaccountable Washington bureaucrats and their tens of thousands of pages of regulations first are over.

We share a common goal of making sure that those most in need of medical services in our communities get better quality affordable care.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And welcome to the first E&C hearing of the 115th Congress.
