The tribal leaders on our Wind River Reservation speak to me about law enforcement issues and BIA police staffing shortages just about every time that we meet back in Wyoming.

This bill should not assume or mandate that people in Wyoming and other rural States are going to get out of their vehicles.

In some Indian communities, public safety is much more than just an issue--it's a crisis.

The next Highway Bill must ensure equity in mobility, flexibility and connectivity.

Of course, you know, Chairman Posey is here today, so I would ask: What do you need from the tribes?

That is a frightening prospect for the communities and it is why I keep raising this issue.

Does the Department intend to raise the levels of law enforcement staffing to meet the level of need of 29 officers for the Wind River Reservation?

My colleague is absolutely correct. That is exactly what is happening. They call this a health care bill. It doesn't seem to address the major issues that patients across the country are concerned about. My colleague is absolutely right…

The undersigned state and national specialty medical societies--representing more than 85,000 physicians and the millions of patients they serve--are writing to oppose passage of the 'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.' The…

Well, Mr. President, that is exactly what I am hearing at home from Wyoming's voters and from my patients. I was in Wyoming this past weekend. I have had the privilege of practicing medicine there for 25 years, taking care of families in…

I heard that just this morning. We had a number of county commissioners from Wyoming here in Washington. They were at a speech yesterday given by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and she told these county commissioners, this group from…

I agree completely when you talk about vaccination. They're cheap and they work.

I would say to my colleague from Arizona--and there is actually a Mayo Clinic in Arizona, as there is in Florida and as there is in Rochester, MN, which is the home of the Mayo Clinic--one would think, since the President early on talked…

No matter whom I talk with in Wyoming, when they look at this massive, 2,000-page bill and they think about it and then they ask questions about it, they say: How in the world is this actually going to get the cost of care down? How is…

What I hear from the people of Wyoming is, I am sure, what the Senator has heard from the people at home in Mississippi. They say: Why don't you just stop and start over? It is not just the people from our States. In a recent CNN poll, 50…

Right now--and we just passed a 1-month extension the other night--Medicare is supposed to cut the fees for all doctors across the country by 21 percent. Seniors know Medicare underpays right now. As one of my colleagues in the State…

It puts the government between you and your patient, which is what you never want to have happen. As Dr. Coburn said, that is the wrong approach. It is not the way medicine has ever been practiced in America. It is not the way patients…

It could not. According to the President's budget numbers and the way this bill is written and the financial gimmickry, they want to cut physician fees for Medicare by 21 percent and keep them frozen for the next 10 years. So it is cut and…

If I may, one of the phrases the Senator used about using reconciliation was ``hijacking,'' hijacking the system, hijacking the way this works. That specific word was used by then-Senator Barack Obama when he was a Senator and very much…

There is a wonderful Paul Ryan op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal, and I would recommend it to anyone to look at that because he specifically points out that the President's own chief Medicare actuary says the Senate and House bills are…

I support Mr. Elkins moving out of committee, and to date he has truthfully answered all the questions I posed to him. Before the full Senate votes, I do have some additional questions based on a report I am releasing today. As ranking…

Well, it would have affected me in several ways. It would have affected my life in that my wife Bobbi is a breast cancer survivor. She had a screening mammogram when she was in her forties-- something this Task Force on Preventive Services…

I was at our hospital in Wyoming on Monday talking to physicians who take care of everyone, and they have great concerns because they say at that rate they can't afford to keep the doors open, if the Medicare cuts go through, the cuts the…

It seems that the right hand is not talking to the left hand, and there are new regulations that seem to me to be burdensome, duplicative.

I remain concerned, and you and I have talked about this, by the administration's--what appears to be a war against American oil and natural gas production.
