physicians and providers of the world, look, if you re a doc and you re spending 50% of your time filling out forms, then either you re doing something wrong or we re doing something wrong and let s work together for the next couple of years exactly. to see if we can get that down to a manageable level and create an environment where physicians and providers can spend their time talking instead of typing. you have a bipartisan consensus here, at least we did last year when we passed the krunchc.u.r. bill, and i invite to you work with us if you re confirmed to complete that. if senators wish to ask additional questions of our nominee, questions are due by the close of business friday, january 20th. for all other matters the hearing record will remain open for ten days. members may submit additional information for the record
