Good intentions often get muddled with very complex execution.

If the Stark Law is gutted, the result will not just be bad economics and bad policy; it will also be bad medicine for patients.

By doing so, Congress would stop the increasing rate of unnecessary utilization due to IOAS.

I rise today to celebrate the life of a cherished friend and a champion of freedom in Auschwitz, Elie Wiesel. In Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Elie traveled far beyond the limits of human suffering, descending deep into an abyss of agony and…

as we all now know, the government of Puerto Rico has run up an astounding debt of around $70 billion and has more than $40 billion in virtually unfunded pension promises. To address this financial challenge, the Senate has taken up…

Who knows. All I can say is that we have held hearings on it, and we have had everything from more taxes to pay for it, which isn't very exciting to most people around here, to more government programs to pay for, to any number of other…

I was just explaining that we just fixed the disability insurance fund last year. I wish to also point out that the last time I recall anybody talking about the privatization of Social Security was President Clinton. The last time I heard…

I am willing to look at the trustees' reports on this. There are six trustees, including Mr. Blahous, who is the only Republican. I am not even sure if he is a Republican, but I think he is. They all signed off on these reports, and they…
