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

I couldn't agree more.

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

This nonstop campaign to undercut the law is bad news for Oregonians like Beth Stewart.

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

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.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

More than 16 million Americans have gained health insurance coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act.

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

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

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.

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

I continue to believe there is an opportunity for some bipartisanship here and some reforms that can bring people together.

There's never been a law in history that couldn't be improved-- including this one.

Unfortunately, it looks like it'll take a rear-guard action to keep from going back to the dark days when America's health care system worked only 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.

My first choice for this morning's hearing would be to get past the well-worn talking points and begin the effort to find bipartisan ways to improve the Affordable Care Act.

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

Thank you, Senator Schumer. It sounds very encouraging that Senator Schumer and Senator Portman are making some real headway.

I very much share your view that a competitive rate is essential as part of this.

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

We are going to work in a bipartisan way on this.

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.
