I think this would be a terrible, terrible decision by the NLRB that would stop one of the very successful parts of our economy.

The way I had understood the NLRB to work was it was to be a fair arbiter.

We should be looking in this country about how we create jobs for people.

I am just a simple doctor from East Tennessee.

This NLRB is the most activist NLRB in anybody's memory.

You have a right to organize in this country.

If you take our schools with 10 percent poverty or less, and poverty is defined by free and reduced lunch, we have the highest 15-year-old test scores in the world, bar none, period.

We need to get some common sense back into health care and get a lot of these bureaucrats out of it.

It astonishes me that it is Democrat and Republican. It is unbelievable. It is about providing health care.

The government, the Federal Government, I do, because the simplest decision in the world--health care decisions ought to be made between a physician and the patient and that patient's family, not the insurance company, and certainly not…

We have lost 50 primary care residency slots.

I don't want to see that medical research take a step back.

If we don't address cost, no matter how much insurance you provide for people, we can't sustain our system if we can't control the cost.

I think community colleges are absolutely critical in allowing an educational opportunity to people who can't.

My own insurance for my family went up with the Affordable Care Act 75 percent.

There is enough money in the American health care system to cover everybody.

We have to be responsible for that or we will never get in control of our costs.

Americans are the best shoppers in the world. We will drive across five lanes of interstate to get gas two cents a gallon cheaper.

Did we need health care reform? Absolutely we needed health care reform.

If there are any veterans here, I want them to stand...

I want to thank the committee, a terrific job you all have done here today.

We feel like that as a public entity, we have said to the taxpayer we are taxing you through your sales tax, your income tax, your property tax for money for education.

What has happened is... we have increased the cost of them providing the insurance coverage, taken away some of their flexibility, and not another person has been covered.

The last thing I want to say is that what the government decided was what you buy...

I have never operated on a Republican or a Democrat cancer in my life. It is a people problem...
