So we don't have travel bans to countries that are even more oppressive than that.

But, there is no travel ban in Iran, and, quite honestly, they are a much greater threat to American citizens than Cuba.

Whatever we do, going forward, we need to keep in mind the people of Cuba. I am not interested in helping the Castros, but not trading with Cuba is not helping the people of that country.

Mr. Speaker, today marks 8 years since Hurricane Ike made landfall over Galveston, Texas. This Category 4 storm ripped through communities in the city of Galveston and Galveston County, making its way inland through the Houston region. The…

Mr. Speaker, as any hardworking American knows, health insurance costs and regulations impact all of us on a daily basis. Americans need patient-centered solutions to address our healthcare system's key problems, and House Republicans have…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for yielding to me and for the work that he has done on this important bill. Mr. Speaker, the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act has provided Federal support to State and…

Twenty million people have gained insurance coverage. The ACA has also cut the uninsured rate nearly in half.

Just imagine how much we could accomplish if Republicans and Democrats would work together instead of against this.

It should not be like that. It absolutely should not.

In the 6 years since Congress passed the ACA, we have found ourselves in this hearing again and again as it is being debated in some would call obsession with undoing and undermining this historic law.

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 858, I call up the bill (H.R. 3590) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the increase in the income threshold used in determining the deduction for medical care, and ask for its…

I unequivocal support for the Attorney General from Massachusetts, Maura Healey, and the other Attorneys General who have been subjected to, in my opinion, truly disturbing Congressional overreach and interference with their jobs.

Rate increases like these are being seen across the country and they are far from affordable.
