The question is, how do you fix--let's just take one area, doctor's fees?

the average cost of health care per capita in the United States is $8,000, which is twice what it is in every European country.

We are paying twice what the French and the British and the Germans--everybody else is paying for health care, and our health statistics aren't better.

The fix isn't just simply cutting physician fees. It is--you need fundamental reform.

Can it be done in a country that does not want to put the hammer down on those people who are making counterfeit things?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Krzanich, we pass laws here and the Government tries to do things to help, but I would like to have your assessment of at least one thing that has been tried.

trade represents enormous opportunities for U.S. workers, farmers, and business.

I think the President has the right ones. History has taught us that if we don't keep investing in the economy, we are not going to keep it moving.

There isn't anybody who sits on the top row of this committee who believes that there is going to be tax reform in the next year.

More jobs, more growth, businesses more competitive.

We come to it by sober, responsible recognition that the fiscal alternatives we face, challenges we face, cannot be met responsibly without a modest increase in revenues through tax reform.

So the President needn't waste his time listening to this stuff: Where is your proposal, where is their proposal? They don't have one because they won't stay at the table.
