Orrin Hatch

Members on both sides of the aisle should be open to rolling back or at least amending the individual and employer mandates.

Let me be clear. I want to find a bipartisan path forward through this mess.

the law will effectively force more of those middle-income individuals to drop their coverage.

the ACA could effectively shift in the coming years from insuring the uninsured to un-insuring the previously insured.

Personally, I also believe members on both sides of the aisle should be open to rolling back, or at least amending the individual and employer mandates, two of the most unpopular components in Obamacare.

So let's put our differences aside and work together on meaningful changes.

ACP commends the Senate Finance Committee for a commitment to advancing legislation to improve the quality and lower the cost of treating patients with multiple chronic illnesses.

I've always held fast to the notion that if States believe they've got a plan that raises the bar for health care in terms of costs and coverage--rather than lowering it--they ought to be able to try it out.

We commend the Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch and Ranking Member Ron Wyden for recently introducing legislation, S. 1827.

The bottom line is that section 1332 is all about giving States the chance to do better, but not worse.

We urge Congress to act to sustain gains in coverage from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) rather than working to repeal and replace the current law.

Let us put our differences aside and work together on meaningful changes.

I believe we can come together again to provide some relief through elimination of these and other onerous Obamacare taxes that drive up costs for consumers and hamper innovation.

In my view, an Obamacare bailout that is not accompanied by real reforms would be inadvisable.

today I wish to pay tribute to one of Utah's great public servants, a loving husband, father, and grandfather and a remarkable leader, David ``Ted'' Eyre. Sadly, Ted recently lost his battle with cancer. He leaves behind a grieving…

I don't believe we should spend more energy to prop up a system that is already hurting millions of Americans.

before we adjourned for the recess, I came to this lectern to issue a call for comity, cooperation, and compromise. My message that day was simple: If we are serious about legislating--if we are truly committed to doing the work the…

If Congress doesn't act to provide additional Federal funding, a number of children who would likely be eligible for CHIP will go uninsured once Federal funding is exhausted.

CHIP was needed to help many families make that transition.

CHIP adds a level of security to their health care above and beyond Medicaid.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been impacted over the past few days by Hurricane Irma.

I ask you to extend funding for CHIP with the enhanced match rate for the next 5 years.

CHIP has helped children whose families have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but too low to afford private health insurance.

It's important for Congress to take action soon. There's no kicking this can down the road with a short-term bill.

Twenty years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy and I came together to create the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP.
