one of the principal failures of the Affordable Care Act was when we allowed Speaker Boehner, Leader Reid, President Obama, to remove Members of Congress from being forced to go into the exchanges.

I would have suggested that we look at language like I have introduced in H.R. 1510.

The solution, Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, is not price controls.

The expectation is that in a single-payer, government-run system, where there is no--you just take--you know, you become a price-taker.

I am the son of a physician, a physician who chose to leave Canada's government-run health care system behind for the United States.

Quite simply, the success of the employer-sponsored insurance market is not worth wiping out with single-payer health care.

Single-payer is not one-size-fits-all, it is one-size-fits-no-one.

I did not accept the subsidies that all Members of Congress get for going in the DC exchange.

Bipartisanship means asking for my input, not just my vote.

Our contract is always with the patient. It is not with the hospital, it is not with the government.

Legislation that my friends on the other side of the dais have put forth today is once again disappointing.

Look, the Democrats' one-size-fits-all, government-run, single-payer health care bill would be an epic fail to provide access to quality health care for Americans.
