Let's work together to make health care more affordable, instead of raising costs with more heavy-handed rules and bureaucratic overreach.

Rising health care costs remains a significant challenge for workers and job creators nationwide.

There are ways to do that now without being fraudulent and convincing yourself that you are providing good care without proper metrics and supervision.

I certainly think, as I have stated before, that proper supervision of nurse practitioners is a way to extend quality of care to veterans and to anybody.

There is no way on this planet that I would sign a narcotics prescription for somebody I had never seen.

People do not understand and properly used, a nurse practitioner can be very helpful and provide an extender for you as a physician.

There are more narcotic overdose deaths in this country than are car wrecks now.

If we are going to put Americans back to work and advance smarter reforms that will lower healthcare costs, we must first repeal or dismantle the President's misguided law.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said this mandate will impose a $140 billion tax increase on employers.

I have never seen a Republican or a Democrat heart attack in my life. I have never operated on a Republican or Democrat cancer in my life.

This morning I was told by my employer, a home health care provider in Albion, Michigan that I am being cut from my 38 hours to 28 hours because of Obamacare.

I can absolutely assure you what will happen is with these very rich subsidies, employees and employers will figure out to drop those.

The only thing bipartisan about the Affordable Care Act was the vote to not accept it.

I believe we can do better than misguided policies that destroy full-time jobs.

The House will continue to demand permanent relief for all Americans.

The delay provides workplaces a temporary reprieve from an onerous mandate; however, it does not alter the fact the law is fatally flawed.

The best government in the world is local government, and that is one of the reasons that we are here today.

I think the Chairman brought up something a minute ago, that what we have done in this country is we have taken a set of laws and we have thrown the common sense out the window.

I recognize the critical importance of Medicaid home care providers to enable Medicaid beneficiaries to remain in the community.

What alternative can you offer to these providers besides bankruptcy?

It is beyond belief how complex--needlessly and how complex this program has become.

So, I think we have a much bigger issue here of the constitutionality of this.

I think it is extremely important for us to maintain and follow the Constitution of this country, which is the law of the land.

A soldier expects to be at risk when they are on the battlefield. They do not expect to be at risk when at a VA hospital.
