This is a disaster for our seniors and it is something I hope you are spending a lot of time trying to get right.

We ought to at least just be frank with each other and admit the fact that these brokers are going away.

Ma'am, that is not true.

A proposed rule does nothing for certainty for me, nothing, and so here is, I guess, my point: It doesn't seem like there is any sense of urgency about what is going to hit these very companies who are fighting for their very survival.

So it is OK that we are going to continue to lose these jobs and we are losing them today, we are going to lose more tomorrow.

So my concern was, when the chairman went through, and there is no Federal-State exchange rule, there is no--for States--excuse me. There is no Federal exchange rule.

I think it would be incredibly important to this debate and to this committee to hear from women.

Eight hearings to talk about the same thing without any progress seems to me to be kind of a waste of time.

If the goal of the ongoing series of hearings on President Obama's regulatory reform to ensure that that was the case, that regulations be simple, clear, and reasonable, I would be in complete support of these continued hearings.

The Republican majority supports regulatory reform and we have had hours and hours of hearings on this subject.

I have a three-word solution to help fix this Nation's job performance. American energy development.

The review process at the FDA is driving investment in medical technologies overseas as well as sending jobs overseas.

Yesterday, I introduced the Generic Drug and Biosimilar User Fee Act of 2012 based on this agreement with Representatives Pallone, Pitts, and Waxman.

It is estimated that over the last 10 years, the use of generic medications has saved our healthcare system nearly $1 trillion.

In the face of these challenges, the FDA and the generic pharmaceutical industry have come together with other stakeholders to negotiate a historic 5-year agreement.

Brand name and generic medicines are simultaneously necessary and essential components of quality and cost-effective healthcare.

We have Treasury, OMB, people from Solyndra, and people from the White House who said the government is a crappy venture capitalist.

Did you weigh in with Jonathan Silver and tell him to restructure the loan?

I hope--sir, I'm asking if you can cite something for me and get back to us to show us where in the law it says you don't have to pay attention to the law?

I understand, but you can't give the money if they're not going to pay it back.

So that was an option? That was an option?

That and I think, too, it teaches us the moral character of actions is determined by objective criteria not merely by the sincerity of intentions or the goodness of motives.

Conscience is at the core of Catholic teaching, you said, but slavery was not left to personal decisions and conscience, thank goodness.

Do you honestly think that thousands of individuals and families in my district who could lose their health insurance altogether are really better off as a result of this rule?

If you like your religion, can you keep it?
