There are a lot of people that wanted to buy that didnt cover their 26yearold. You didnt let us do that. And that is the problem. We are smart people. We can make our own decisions. We dont need the government telling us what we have to have. And that is the biggest complaint i get from idahoans, from americans saying why are you politicians and washington, d. C. Constantly telling us what we should do for ourselves . And thats the basic problem of all of this. Whenever you try to socialize in the industry, nationalize an industry like its been done here, its never worked. Its been in tried in all sorts of countries and it never works.

In the technology area, we already witnessed a different kind of thinking. Right now we still enjoy leadership and we still enjoy standard leadership. So were able to apply some of our influence. Over time come as you know, especially in the area of Technology Evolves very quickly. By not being there, we will very quickly lose our ability to impact.

One is talking about what happened before the Affordable Care act. If we could take our seats and welcome to this important hearing this morning. The purpose of todays hearing is to explore the Success Stories of the rollout of the Affordable Care act in states throughout the country, where teamwork and cooperation has proven to be exceedingly effective. We will also hear from a federal panel that will talk about the federal rollout and some of the challenges that have presented themselves. Normally, we have the federal panel first and the state panel second, but at the discretion of the chair, i reversed it, but require the federal leaders to be here to hear from the state exchanges and from individual Business Owners about how the situation could be improved.
