Mr. President, this amendment is very simple, and it goes to the heart of all of these arguments. This amendment would repeal this new ObamaCare plan. All of us on this side urge this action and urge us to focus instead on a focused…

220,000 individuals lost their lives in this disaster, compared to about 2,000 on the gulf coast, just to put it in scale.

The Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP) are on track to meet these goals.

I thank you for your longstanding commitment to this issue.

Will the current Army Milcon and SRM investment funding plans provide single enlisted soldiers the same quality of housing we provide married soldiers by a date certain?

This amendment is a stunt that really doesn't deserve the time that I'm even going to give to explain the portion of it that refers to Louisiana. And the reason I say it's a stunt is because it's actually written for television or the…

OSHA is not eliminating the VPP. However, OSHA is looking for other nongovernmental-funded ways to continue the program.

I stand to talk about health care on this significant day, the day after the House passed the ObamaCare bill and the day before the reconciliation bill comes here to the Senate. Needless to say, I am deeply disappointed by the House's…

I am afraid I cannot for exactly the same reason. I am late for a meeting in my office. But I certainly would have no objection to placing his comments in the Record and regaining the floor at a future time.

Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to my colleagues' comments. I have actually found some things to agree with. Ms. Slaughter mentioned that the American people have been lied to. I agree. They have been told that a policy which raises…

My colleague from New Jersey made a point earlier that he wasn't sure that many people on this side have read the bill. I have read the bill, and some things are quite apparent to me. One, there is a loss of freedom. Thou shalt buy…

Mr. Speaker, isn't it ironic that Women's History Month is at the same time, in the same week that this article in The New York Times comes out about how this poor woman in Michigan on Medicaid, there is such inadequate Medicaid…

If you don't control cost, you can't give access. Now Republicans have been proposing things. I was so pleased the President said we're the party of no and then he embraces our idea of HSAs, high- risk pools, and other things. So that's…

In Massachusetts, they attempted to expand access and control costs. That is this plan. And what we just heard in Massachusetts is the Democratic treasurer saying this plan will bankrupt our Nation in 4 years. Alternatively, what we can…
