U.S. State Attorneys General

Because my impression is generally that there have been fewer programs for women in our prison system, both in the State level and Federal level.

By direction of the Democratic Caucus, I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 393 Resolved, That the following named Member be and is hereby elected to…

IAVA supports this draft legislation, which would expand eligibility for reimbursement for emergency medical treatment to certain veterans.

I think the Chairman's bill is a good bill and that these victims may, in fact, prefer to go to VA where maybe they feel that there is more privacy, et cetera.

It cannot just be at the time of their discharge because these things, they need to get timely reminders.

So, I think it has come up a number of times, the lack of information and the need to provide information, not just once because I am sure veterans get tons of stuff that they are supposed to remember but, you know, who can.

This bill will help survivors of sexual assault get the care they need.

In principle, the answer to that is absolutely yes because we do it through the Vet Centers.

I hope that you will be supportive of this kind of a change because they are in a situation over which we have no control.

We owe all servicemembers and veterans, no matter when and where they served, the care they need and the benefits they have earned, and these measures would help fulfill that commitment.

These bills do a lot of good, from improving dental health services and making mental health services available to veterans and their families.

This legislation will ensure that U.S. residents who are Filipino World War II veterans receive the full benefits that they have earned through their service.

To imply that you have to take all of what Obamacare delivers to get to address preexisting conditions or you get none of that addressed, that is just not true.

It is really a false choice to say it is Obamacare or all the things that were never fixed in the health care world have to continue.

It is unacceptable to have an important part of the health insurance program, this Web site, not work the way it should.

Let's fix this Web site. Let's not fixate on the Web site, let's fix the Web site.

You can sit there and say that you had a legitimate alternative after these years? We have gone through 44 votes, 48 votes now of you trying to dismantle this legislation.

It is a false choice to say it is Obamacare or nothing.

Those are the real stories of fathers, mothers, sons and daughters who have to live with a law that up to now has completely failed them.

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

No one runs for office to watch this unfold. As I said before, the House of Representatives is not a sandbox. We've got work to do. We're adults.

The way it works is people elects -- elect us into our job and our job is to put a budget in place and to not default on the payment of our past debts.

If the speaker doesn't want to play with other people's money, he'll now put a bill up that will get a bipartisan vote and pass quickly.

Well, I would hope now that he's seen that this effort on the part of Republicans in the House to do an effort that's purely partisan, now that that's collapsed, that he would see that.
