John pistole, just weeks before this event. I am pleased that the tsa is undertaking a review to see what lessons to be learned from lac and i look forward to the results. I encourage them to bring in stakeholders. They have a significant role to play.

And a Small Business man called me, whose insurance had been canceled because it does not comply with obamacare. Hes facing a 54 increase in his premiums. Another constituent contacted me because her insurance also had been canceled. Insurance that she liked.
