Medicare Advantage has a proven record of success and is popular with seniors because it provides better services, a higher quality of care and increased care coordination.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the recognition, for the privilege to join the important hearing today on H.R. 2012.

This Congress has jurisdiction on this issue. This is a multibillion-dollar industry.

I believe this is unacceptable.

I urge members to consider H.R. 2012, a sound national framework to protect horses, riders and the public.

This is not acceptable.

Thank you for your patience. I ask all guests please take their seats.

My colleagues and I in the Virginia delegation, particularly Congressmen Frank Wolf and Rob Wittman, appreciate you having this hearing.

Today's legislative hearing examines seven important bipartisan public health bills aimed at improving the health of our families and communities.

Representative Blackburn and her colleagues on both sides of the aisle have outlined an approach that would give the FDA a new tool.

I commend her in her thoughtful approach to this issue, and for her leadership.

The bill represents a bipartisan success, not only for our committee, but for Congress as a whole.

The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, FDASIA, was signed into law on July 9th, 2012.

It is time for my colleagues to put away that broken promise once and for all.

The failure of Health and Human Services and the White House to heed the internal warnings about their lack of readiness for the Web site demonstrates that the Obama administration has failed in overall project management and leadership.

The buck stops with the people who run the agency, and the political appointees do a disservice to the civil servants.

The law is making life worse for Americans across the country.

I think it is quite clear from what has already been said by my Republican colleagues that they just think Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act should be repealed, and you know, we cannot go down that road because it is providing help for…

If you like your doctor, you may not be able to continue seeing him or her.

If you like your plan, there is a good chance you have or will lose it.

This law was sold to the American people with false promises, and real people are being hurt.

Obamacare's problems are not limited to a Web site. This law was sold to the American people with false promises, and real people are being hurt.

While it may have been convenient to tell Americans that they can keep their health care plan under the Affordable Care Act, it is time for my Democrat colleagues to put away that broken promise once and for all.

Premiums and deductibles are going up, not down, as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
