My understanding is that we are losing--and we have introduced legislation to remedy this--about $100 billion a year in revenue, a year, by companies' offshoring their profits in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and paying zero in taxes.

The State of Vermont, for example--and I don't think it's dissimilar in Wyoming and in other low population States--does not have the resources to put together an application like that for every Federal education program.

I am absolutely supportive of putting significantly more money in education from preschool to higher education.

The problem is that if you are a large State, a California or a New York State, you'll have the educational bureaucracy that can submit and work on enormously long and complicated application forms.

I have been extremely, extremely disappointed about the Administration's current approach to competitive grant programs.

The point that I want to make here-- and, again, this is not against New York. They have their problems. Everybody else has their problems. We're all in this together.

It's not just urban America that has serious problems, that we have kids in Vermont and in rural America who are struggling.

I think you've got to pay more attention, financially, not you, personally--you can go wherever you want, but what matters is the checks that are coming in to the States.

I think the large turnout tells you how seriously many of us feel about this issue.

Thank you, Senator Warren.

I think it is a moral argument we need to engage as a country.

I believe it is both. I mean, the point is we are not going to pay all our primary care physicians $500,000 a year.

If we would enact a single-payer national health care program where everyone was entitled to health care as a right, we could focus on delivering the best care in the world to our patients.

In my experience, the CHC's provide a critical safety net for the uninsured of our Valley.

The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is the national professional association representing the interests of more than 140,000 occupational therapists.

The Nation faces a critical shortage of physicians.

AAMC applauds subcommittee Chairman Bernard Sanders, and Senators Mike Enzi and Rand Paul for convening this hearing.

We strongly support the President's proposed funding level of $3.1 billion for Community Health Centers.

If we are going to attract young people into primary health care, we must make that profession more financially attractive.

AACOM commends subcommittee Chairman Bernard Sanders for convening this hearing on this extremely important issue.

I want to thank all of our panelists for their wonderful testimony and to tell you that we are going to listen very seriously to what you had to tell us.

I urge you to work to make a difference, not for me or you, but for the patients I have the privilege of serving, who desperately need their elected officials to care about what happens to them.

I believe everyone is entitled [to health care as a right].

Instead of holding back funding, we propose that the entire increase be used immediately to provide for the expansion of care to 2.5 million new patients.

The THC program was an important new investment in graduate medical education in the Affordable Care Act.
