I was really worried. Wyoming only had two people that were providing any medical, any prescription insurance.

I think that's one impediment we have, even for visiting doctors to come.

It's a very small price tag for a big payout.

Senator Kaine is, and others here are as well, Senator Roberts.

I'm a co-sponsor of that.

It's a bipartisan bill that would be the single biggest thing near-term you could do to help rural hospitals.

Pass Senate Bill 397, the Fair Medicare Hospital Payments Act, which is initially sponsored by Senator Isakson.

Wyomingites also face some of the highest healthcare costs in the country.

I formed a rural caucus, and I found that almost every state wanted to be represented in that caucus.

It's important to examine what drives healthcare costs and how we can create more value for patients particularly, and specifically in rural areas.

One of the things I always appreciate about my people in Wyoming is when they complain to me, they usually have some idea for how to solve it.

I'm going to go ahead and open this roundtable of the Subcommittee on Primary Health and Retirement Security.

According to the most recent financial capability study, financial illiteracy is as high as 63 percent among adults.

Financial literacy, just like standard literacy, is fundamental to successfully navigating our world.

I appreciate the bipartisan way that this roundtable was organized.

I want to thank my colleague and his committee for their efforts to address these concerns. I am hopeful reform is just around the corner, and I encourage my colleagues to continue to support reform of the National Flood Insurance Program…

So Ms. Johnson certainly, if confirmed, is going to have a key role in addressing this issue of protecting these kids, making sure these children are safe.

In my view, the committee has not had an opportunity to learn nearly enough about how Ms. Johnson would handle this part of her job, if she is confirmed.

Americans have rightfully been horrified by the stories of weeping mothers unsure of where their daughters and sons have been taken.

This is not a criticism of that particular nominee, Ms. Johnson, but it certainly was a mistake by the Trump administration, a big mistake--in my view, a mistake in the wrong direction for kids in foster care.

It is a sign the administration has put itself in the business of picking economic favorites as a result of the tax law.

This administration often seems to make tax decisions for political reasons rather than policy reasons.

It is up to Mr. Rettig to demonstrate that if he is confirmed, he is going to work on behalf of all Americans.

It sounds great on paper, and in lots of places it works, but in large parts of Alaska, it is going to be a challenge.
