I think the fact that the regulatory environment seems to be still in creation is a part of the challenge that many business owners face today as it relates to the ACA.

The number of insurers available in states are becoming fewer insurers are available in states, not more

We, on our side, are believing that this matter is a catastrophic failure and becoming more so every day.

The inability to understand what has not yet been filled in on the pages of the regulations, perhaps, provides a great opportunity for discontentment.

What about small businesses in America? They want relief, too, and that is one of the reasons why I asked to have this hearing.

The President's Executive Order implementing a new national ocean policy gives NOAA responsibility for over 130 items without any specificity.

I would love for you to come down to South Carolina and take a look off the coast so you can have an appreciation for the reality that we, at least at home, believe that we need more sound science to show the reality of the oceans.

We hope to have the opportunity, if you are confirmed, to work with you on what we would define as a Federal overreach.

Our focus ought not to be on cutting that rung off so fewer people can get on the ladder.

One-third of all my seniors in Florida, that is it for their income, is their Social Security check.

All of these fraud victims deserve to be made whole in a timely manner.

Wireless carriers, as a result of government policy, for the most part, have a very difficult time going into rural areas and providing the kind of high speed service. They've got to compete against companies that are subsidized, et…
