We have a moral obligation to the least of these in our society, not just to people who are homeless...

Gone would be the guarantee of coverage that protects Americans who have preexisting conditions.

I think we build by going forward, as I say, not going back to the days, for example, when insurers could clobber the people with a preexisting condition.

For years we talked about trying to meet that moral obligation, and failed miserably.

I couldn't agree more.

These are essentially digital health companies, these 90 new businesses.

I would very much like to work with you in a bipartisan way.

The proposition that the Affordable Care Act has in some way, I think the word was 'endangered' Medicare Advantage, is just belied by the facts.

It is time to recognize the real-world consequences of this dysfunctional, old political battle.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Just this week, members of Congress are pushing budget proposals that would rip the law up by the roots.

What I feel is so important about the Affordable Care Act is that before it, we essentially had a system that worked best for the healthy and the wealthy.

We make progress by working in a bipartisan fashion rather than bringing back yesteryear when the health care system was for the healthy and wealthy.

I think they failed, not for the best of reasons.

I fought for my life. I should not have to fight for insurance.

In my view, our end goals are bipartisan--a tax code that supercharges America's competitiveness in tough global markets.

The broken U.S. tax code hurts our competitiveness around the world--how it hinders the drive to create red, white, and blue jobs that pay strong middle-class wages.

There's a wave cresting--and this one's even bigger.

It's legislative malpractice to sit by and let this situation fester.

Going to a pure territorial system does not eliminate the use of game-playing and tax havens

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

A modern tax code should fight gamesmanship and bring down the corporate rate to make American businesses more competitive.

The Congress cannot expect the Treasury Department to keep playing whack-a-mole with every issue that pops up.

I think this is a particularly important hearing, and I look forward to working with you and the working groups on this and the other topics in a bipartisan way.

Our tax code is deeply broken.
