It is not working very well for you, I do not think, and it is not working well for the employers or the employees.

I know that the outcome that we had envisioned...was to eventually have some kind of a card that everybody could carry that would have their entire medical history on it.

I am looking forward to some real tax reform, and we have to do the corporate and the individual at the same time so that the pass-through corporations are not left at a disadvantage.

I appreciate being on this Committee and its emphasis on small business. I have been on it ever since I came to Washington, and it does make a difference.

I have to talk to my doctors to see if they can understand what you just said, because I had a little difficulty with it.

I think that will be very helpful.

Are you currently just doing the e-mails and the text messages? What about the other advanced capability?

Thank you for working so diligently on your goal to get retirement security for more workers.

It appears to me that we are just kind of kicking the can down the road.

The administration elected not to fix the SGR when we were doing the Affordable Care Act.

I have to join Senator Cardin in his comments about the bidding process and allowing people to bid who have not gotten licensed yet.

The President promised a docs fix in the State of the Union speech while we were considering his reform package.

I think these were some good suggestions. I think they have been thrown away.

I will have to do the math to see how many records $8 million worth is, but that is a lot of effort on somebody's part to get all of that together.

It seems like somebody ought to provide them with something like that so they can tell in advance whether they are having a problem or not.

Would that tend to make them think that maybe they could be over-zealous?

It is 8 years out of authorization now, and probably time that we ought to do it.

I thank you and the Ranking Member for giving the flexibility to Senator Murray and Senator Isakson to work on this again.

It seems like if we have a requirement for vitamin manufacturers to report adverse events----

I will have some additional questions in writing that mainly deal with protecting people's privacy through this whole thing, too, because that is a major concern.

We are supposed to be stewards of taxpayers' dollars, so it is no wonder that the taxpayers do not trust the Federal Government.

We are now down to $108 billion in incorrect payments and that 90 percent of those were overpayments.

I thank my friend from Maine, and wholeheartedly agree with her conclusion that we must ensure that the Marketplace Fairness Act is correctly implemented. I have spent many years working on this legislation and strongly believe that…
