I am very concerned that in the President's budget, it proposes actually repealing more of the Affordable Care Act, which would cause millions to lose coverage.

I think the goal of the Affordable Care Act isn't just to treat conditions and people as they walk in the door but to make a better healthcare system.

I appreciate that, because we would like to work with you or the administration, come up with just a commonsense proposal to fix what needs to be fixed at this point in time so Americans have healthcare.

I don't think Americans want to see their health coverage go away.

I appreciate it very much, Mr. Chairman, and this is a really important hearing, and I appreciate all the witnesses making the trek out here.

I think you a lot of willing participation.

Dual eligibles is really the absolute gold standard by which I think healthcare delivery in this country will be judged if we are going to make improvements.

There is a very fantastic bill out there that Mr. Lance and myself have to keep people from falling into...

It seems like the time has come with the SNP programs, the MMP programs, come up with some sort of way that we could have a common standard.

our bill, we are really trying to target those lifesaving medications.

Pretty impressive with the backlog being reduced 90 percent in a 5-year time span.
