My constituents want to know what to expect over the next couple of months and want assurances that only those individuals who are eligible for subsidies will be receiving them.
Can you tell us today that every contractor has met these targets and is on time?
the Affordable Care Act is providing 8,000 young adults with healthcare coverage through their parents' plan.
Hundreds of thousands of my constituents with private insurance are saving money due to the ACA provisions that limit insurers' administrative overhead costs.
over 120,000 of my constituents who currently don't have health insurance will be able to get that insurance without fear of discrimination or higher rates because of a preexisting condition.
Based on recent HHS decisions to implement what they simply want rather than what is statutorily required, what assurances do we have that exchanges will be ready to enroll individuals in just 60 days?
the lowest cost Silver plans are on average 18 percent less than the status quo.
Are you actually testifying in front of this committee that agencies will likely be giving exchange subsidy applicants incomplete information about their financial liability?

The chair thanks the gentleman and now recognizes the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Griffith, for 5 minutes for questions.

Would it be better to regulate large-scale compounders under the manufacturing standards rather than establishing a new category?
Considering that they are more similar in function to manufacturers, should they be regulated within the manufacturing framework?
Let's put pen to paper and make sure the bad actors are not able to hide from clear enforcement authority.
Who at the Food and Drug Administration has been fired over this incident? Again, 53 Americans died, 700 are living with a disability.
But, honestly, all the laws in the world are not going to save a single patient if there is no one enforcing the law.
My goal has always been to draw a clear line on defining what a traditional compounding pharmacy is, and that should be regulated by the States, and what a manufacturer, a drug manufacturer is, which properly should be regulated by the FDA.
The true cost of the Affordable Care Act is being revealed day by day. We knew from the beginning that the law was double counting more than $716 billion in cuts to Medicare to pay for the new entitlements. Another $115 billion in…
ObamaCare's long-term care insurance program has been abandoned and repealed. Its preexisting conditions insurance program has been shut down. Its small business exchanges have been delayed--and on and on with this train wreck. Last week…
