Lamar Alexander actually said...

"we greatly appreciate the committee inviting input from the physician community"

"We spent too much time on insurance and not enough time on the cost of health care."

"There's not any money up here to give to anybody, really. We just have to borrow it from somebody's grandchildren."

"We have shown in this committee on actually issues that are larger and more difficult than this one should be that we know how to take very contentious and difficult issues and get a result."
