TrumpCare threatens access to life-saving treatment for more than one million people with opioid disorders.

More importantly, we need to take a step back and reject the cynicism that this idea implies.

We simply cannot afford to eliminate this care in what is oftentimes a life and death situation.

Well, President Obama was the President of the United States until just a matter of weeks ago. I don't think that he can be dismissed as the leader of the Democratic Party.

I don't know. It's up to him. It's up to him if he obeys the law.

I have a hard time thinking about the 45,000 current vacant positions at the Veterans Health Administration.

Just two weeks ago, committee Republicans rushed TrumpCare through the committee, a bill which repeals the Affordable Care Act.

TrumpCare effectively ends Medicaid Expansion in 2020.

Repealing the mental and substance use disorder coverage provisions of the ACA would remove approximately $5.5 billion annually from the treatment of low income people.

Thanks to Medicaid Expansion under the ACA, 1.6 million people with substance use disorders now can receive the treatment they need.

These drastic cuts in Medicaid... will ration care for millions of Americans, including the rationing of substance abuse treatment.

I feel that the White House has ignored this important policy, and that further investigation by the Inspector General is warranted.

I support this money being used.

How do we on this side of the dais ensure that never again are there tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in savings that the American people are denied?

We know that the White House Chief of Staff has called the Deputy Director of the FBI, asking them to come and publicly knock down reports he did not like.

I only ask that you and the ranking member and all of us commit ourselves to make sure that we never again allow the absence of this body knowing that there is an opportunity on a study like this.

Let me be clear: I do not condone the leaks of classified information to the press, but the President has gone out of his way to intimidate virtually any individual hoping to expose misconduct in the Trump administration.

I think tribal lands have for far too long have not had the resources directed, not only through the Mobility Fund, but through the other funds at the FCC.
