When we were first discussing healthcare changes, there were 49 million people that were uninsured. Today there are still approximately 30 million people uninsured.

The Patient CARE Act would repeal Obamacare, and instead build the economy, empower the individual, and reduce health care costs.

Small businesses know their employees and their health needs better than Federal bureaucrats in Washington.

I believe we need to make retirement plans less complicated, less intimidating, and less expensive for small businesses.

I'm kind of curious if you have any ideas on how we can promote the open MEPs with a range of participants, and, of course, what I'm particularly interested in is in rural areas.

the stakes are too high to rush through these issues without really thorough feedback.

today, along with my colleague, the ranking member of the Budget Committee, Senator Sanders, I wish to honor and recognize the outstanding service of David Weiner on his retirement after 32 years of public service, including 25 years at…

we can help grow our economy from the middle out, not from the top down, which is a goal of mine.

I believe we can do this through expanding small business retirement pooling by allowing the broadening of diversity among those businesses within such plans.

On the same topic, is there a conflict, or is the state-run plan able to coexist peacefully with the private sector plans, the small business plans?

I'm very grateful to both Ranking Member Sanders and Senator Warren for agreeing to host this roundtable with me.

I look forward to again working with the senior senator from Massachusetts, Senator Warren, and I hope that all the committee members and witnesses will join me in focusing this discussion on what we can agree on.

One of the things I had to do was fill out the Form 5500 for some employers, and it fascinated me.

If we go to the open MEPs, will that make the audit easier, then, too, or more difficult?

Open MEPs can be another option to help Americans achieve their retirement goals.

I believe that the vast majority of small business owners across America are just like the ones we serve in Wyoming in that they would like to offer a retirement plan benefit to attract and retain good employees.

We have to be careful with the rules, too, or again we'll discourage the small businesses from looking at it.

I agree with President Obama on this topic and appreciate that he desires to enable employers to take advantage of these open plans.

I will. I'm fascinated by the form.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that we're going to expand it.

I wish to congratulate all who have worked on this bill but particularly Senator Casey's leadership and Senator Klobuchar's leadership on this issue that just passed. Here is a terrible thought: Every year, thousands of children are…

I wish to offer for the Record the Budget Committee's cost estimate of S. 2837, the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2017. The reported measure provides $56.3 billion in discretionary budget authority for…

a few moments ago I got to speak to 45 students from 5 towns in Wyoming who are here for National History Day competition. So it is only fitting that I rise today to recognize a historic event, and that would be the 100th anniversary of…

We get whatever we are willing to pay for, we should not pick winners and losers, and we are holding back innovators.

on June 10, 2016, the Congressional Budget Office released a detailed cost estimate for S. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017. This measure was reported by the Senate Committee on Armed Services on May 18…
