I feel strongly that giving employees more choice and greater control of their earnings will enable smarter, more personal decisions about their health needs.

I will continue to work with Senator Grassley on avenues to advance this important piece of legislation.

Mr. President, 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…

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

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.

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.

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?

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

I will. I'm fascinated by the form.

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

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?
