I am sympathetic to this amendment. The United States should live up to its WTO obligations, particularly if we expect other countries to do the same. Paying Brazil about $12 million a month rather than complying with the WTO decision…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You remember Paul Harvey's ``The Rest of the Story''? You want to hear what's really behind this debate? In the mid-1990s, worried about how much oil we're importing from the Middle East, the government encouraged…

this health care plan I think will drive workers out of the plans they have into the more expensive exchanges

The good news is you are saying there haven't been any jobs lost to the medical loss ratio mandate?

I think the incentives in ObamaCare are flawed and will drive the budget numbers higher.

if this health care plan is so great for the economy, why are they having to lay off their own workers?

You know, our seniors just depend upon getting their checks on time and accurately, plus Social Security and the data you have play a critical role with other federal, state, and local agencies.

The donut hole, the way that was closed is highly flawed, creates cost shifting within it.

I am concerned about the damage that will be done for our seniors as a result of this new health care law.

Mr. Speaker, that was one of the many quips we remember from the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan. As we mark the 100th anniversary of his birth this week on Capitol Hill, we reflect on President Reagan's many accomplishments, his…

How many seniors will lose their preferred Medicare Advantage plan under the President's new national health care plan?

the one-half trillion dollars in Medicare cuts in the Democrat health care law are so drastic that providers might end their participation in the program.

If you could send back to us how many seniors have lost their Medicare Advantage plan, been forced out of their preferred plan, by State, I would appreciate it.

It seems to me none of the promises made to our seniors under the President's national health care plan will come true.

In Texas, more than 300 doctors have dropped the Medicare program in the last 2 years.

the administration and Democrats here in Congress made promises to seniors about their health care and unfortunately didn't live up to them.

Your agency says 3 million this past year have already been forced out of their plan. Are your actuaries right?

The reduction in Medicare Advantage rebates will cause a large increase in the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Medicare Advantage enrollees, estimated $873 more a year over time.

In plain English, are you saying that prescription Part D premiums will increase for seniors who are not in the doughnut hole?

Republicans oppose this health care plan because it won't lower prices for Americans, it will drive people out of plans they prefer.

They will have to make up the difference out of their pocket.

I think it's important to point out that we took up the repeal of that bill last year in congress.

The new health care law compounds the uncertainty employers and entrepreneurs are facing under the most challenging economic climate since the Great Depression.

How is it that Congress passed a health care bill that is "counterproductive" to American employers?

At the end of the day, the health care law fails to control costs, it fails to let Americans keep the insurance they have and like...
