The u. S. Senate. I want to thank senator lankford who is here with us at the table for agreeing to appear before us today to discuss the merits of his resolution. In 2010 this committee undertook a comprehensive examination of the filibuster in the United States senate. That examination was conducted in response to an ongoing debate about invoking the Nuclear Option.

This is all some smoke and mirror deal here. And what we have done here today, almost 15 of us came to the floor, and what we are saying is lets fix the problems that we can all acknowledge, that we have a Health Care System where really sick people have a hard time finding affordability, and when you put really sick people into an insurance pool, it drives up the costs for everyone. So how do we manage that . The Insurance Industry tells me that the average time on the individual exchange is ten months. How do you take someone with five chronic conditions and manage enemy a tenmonth plan . You know what . You dont. So they hop from plan to plan costing more. If you want to row duce costs, you have to if you want to reduce costs, you have to figure out how we can treat the sickest among us. Until we do that we wont achieve the common goal reducing the cost of health care in this country. We cannot achieve that goal. And when all were doing is saying, no, we dont want to pay, were going
