This decision greatly effects both me as a small franchisor and also each individual franchisee because it essentially makes each franchisee a middle manager between myself and their employees and creates extensive liability for me as a…

I strongly believe the new joint employer test will lead to centralization of the housing industry, which will negatively affect small businesses and housing prices.

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.

I strongly agree the new joint employer standard will have a negative impact on employees and job creation.

I rise to speak about one of South Carolina's most amazing heroes, Greg Alia. I am here today to recognize that this young man--32 years young--lost his life yesterday. Yesterday morning, Officer Greg Alia was killed in Columbia, SC. I…

I wish to thank my cosponsor, Senator Shaheen, for working with me on the PACE Act, without any question. I also would like to thank Senator Alexander for his kind remarks and specifically thank our leader, Senator McConnell, for making…

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 am a proud pro-life Senator, and I stand on the floor of the Senate today with a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach. It is a feeling that comes with the knowledge that over the past 40 years more than 50 million Americans have not…

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.

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.

I watched in absolute amazement as the Obama administration attempted to justify what is clearly a misguided gamble and a bad deal with Iran. We saw the signs of how bad this deal was almost immediately, as during the same speech in which…

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.

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

The stress and the challenge facing so many American families needs to be highlighted.

As the Senate Co-Chair of the congressional Alzheimer's Task Force, I am particularly interested in breakthroughs in Alzheimer's disease.

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

I was a proud supporter of the 21st Century Cures Act as we direct more of the NIH resources and other research resources from the Federal Government toward looking at these diseases that are going to be very, very costly for Americans.

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

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

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

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