I was really glad to see that you agreed that we should not roll back the guardrails that protect people with preexisting conditions.

Families are facing higher premiums and fewer options as a result of uncertainty in our health care system.

We know that failing to make those payments is going to spike premiums for the most popular plans in the marketplace by 20 percent.

This has been an extremely important first step. I know we have three more hearings.

Consumers have really come, I think, to rely on these measures to lower their own healthcare costs.

The more certainty, the lower the costs of the care?

I think it is important we focus on permanent or longer term reforms so we can help slow the growth of premiums.

I do think that auto-enrollment could assist people in staying enrolled.

It is refreshing to have an opportunity for frank and bipartisan discussions on the healthcare system.

There is a lot of work that needs to be done to undo the damage this Administration has caused within the healthcare system.

I hope with today's conversation, we can continue to turn the page away from Trumpcare and partisanship that we have seen way too much of.

I would like to have the ability for consumers to choose because there are such detrimental options with provider networks and drug formularies.

I am concerned this Administration has delayed some very critical steps that could help provide immediate relief for families suffering from the opioid epidemic.

I, along with Senators Baldwin and Booker, led over 30 Senators in writing to Secretary Price to request information on that decision.

I have repeatedly stressed the importance of a thorough and complete vetting process for nominees.

Supporting the title X programs, to me, is really common sense and maintaining the funding for that is one of my top priorities.

A bill is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is implemented properly. We will be watching.

I want to know if they are going to put science and facts ahead of politics and ideology.

The Trump administration has failed to prioritize preparedness efforts, which I believe has left us vulnerable to public health threats.

I am very concerned by the actions taken by both of these under this Administration.
