Son, you are going to face two critics in life, people who criticize you because they want to see you do better and those who criticize you because they want to see you fail.

I am sorry, Mr. Chairman, I was being blocked by my esteemed colleague here from Connecticut.

We, too, have a role to play as far as clearing up, I think, a lack of a clear definition...

I just hope we are not going on the road of the IRS being subjected to this type of scrutiny...

I think there is tremendous opportunity to enhance the quality of care in the post-acute-care setting, at a substantial cost savings as well.

I think the average taxpayer back home would be astounded if they knew that because of our unwillingness or inability to reform our own cotton subsidy program within our farm bill, we are now subsidizing Brazil cotton producers to the tune…

This is crazy. This is nuts.

There is some terminology here that I think the IRS is wrestling with.

We have a problem on our hands, and hopefully this Committee will be able to move forward in a bipartisan fashion to fix it.

if time is of the essence, I don't know why we are repealing the Affordable Care Act 37 times and then trying to move forward on a plan that does nothing for the next 10 years.

There are tools in the Affordable Care Act right now to drive the system in that direction, including payment reform.
