Orrin Hatch
The Public Record
Orrin Hatch was a prominent American attorney and politician who served as a United States Senator from Utah from 1977 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, Hatch was known for his extensive work on a variety of issues, including healthcare, tax reform, and intellectual property rights. Throughout his tenure, he played a significant role in shaping legislation and was involved in numerous bipartisan efforts.
I very much appreciate your reference to Part D, because I was one who voted for Part D.
Will you commit to considering Congress in obtaining legislative changes to the law in the future?
Can you give me and the American taxpayers a public commitment today that HHS will not give any more dollars to those failed exchanges for more failed experiments?

Today I will introduce legislation that will help victims of one of the most vicious crimes and one of the most evil crimes in our society: child pornography. When Congress enacted the Violence Against Women Act more than 20 years ago--and…
It seems to me that time would be well spent on working to increase the number of organ donors in our country.
I am concerned that this new policy, 'Share 35,' may be worsening the liver allocation process in the United States.
I believe Ms. Burwell has the qualifications to run HHS, and have assured that she will work with Members of Congress.
I recommend strongly, Ms. Burwell, and hope the committee will endorse her nomination.
I am particularly bothered by the apparent lack of advocacy on behalf of strong intellectual property rights.
The International Trade Administration needs to be a powerful advocate for U.S. businesses and workers.
The protection of intellectual property rights benefits all sectors of the U.S. economy, including agriculture.
I believe both of these nominees are extremely qualified and well-suited to the tasks ahead of them.
It looks to me like we have a permanent structural deficit problem in the Highway Trust Fund.
Now, would it not be the largest Federal motor fuels tax increase in modern times if we did that?
