If I decide, because of the liability that this issue affords me, that I will no longer franchise MODE, job opportunities will be lost in both the State of South Carolina and other States across the country.

The Protecting Local Business Opportunity Act that I have introduced would roll back the NLRB ruling and reaffirm that an employer must exercise actual, direct, and immediate control over essential terms and conditions of employment.

The fact of the matter is, when we are talking about improper payments at $1 trillion in 12 years, it is amazing to me that we are having a conversation about creating more complexity in a system that needs less complexity.

One trillion dollars could provide a lot of resources, a lot of equipment to make sure that our men and women who go to defend this country come home safely.

I would just make the point that the change of the traditional law was made by the board, which I think were described as out-of-touch unelected bureaucrats.

I think to some extent Senator Murphy started having the conversation about the appropriate education necessary for the clinicians.

My last comment would be that I know that you've been dedicated to this cause for it sounds like nearly 20 years.

Frankly, if we're looking for a way, as Senator Murphy has inferred to controlling and/or reducing the cost, whether it's 30 percent or 20 percent.

To not take the original intent on the first biosimilar immediately as it's coming out seems to me to be a costly delay.

As I think about the conversation that we are having and the importance of early detection, early diagnosis...

Keys are very important. My grandfather has encouraged me to know that.

Almost every family is impacted by Alzheimer's or cardiovascular disease.

I have authored legislation to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop a national strategy to recognize and support family caregivers.

It seems like your program, the medical translational technology program, has been successful...

We will take that up with the Chairwoman when we get back to D.C.

Senator Collins has been committed to the issues surrounding aging for as long as I have known her.

I wanted to dedicate this hearing in the honor of Jeff's father, John Duncan, who passed away recently of complications associated with Alzheimer's disease.

There is no doubt that we are blessed by your presence, and as a member of the U.S. Senate, it has been my privilege to get to know you as a person and to understand and appreciate the value of your leadership.

Clearly, Alzheimer's research funding is disproportionately low compared to its human and economic toll.

Your legislation just seems the appropriate legislation for us to say thank you and also to provide ways to support those caregivers in a very powerful way.

We need to ensure that our policies support innovation in the biomedical field.

There was, has been, and hopefully no longer is, a culture of discrimination, a culture of discrimination that focused and targeted conservative organizations
