this is a hearing that is about how abortion bans have created a health care nightmare.

I think the Dobbs decision was a disaster, both in terms of the human consequences of it, but also the radical nature of undoing not just 50 years of Roe v. Wade, but a hundred years of 14th Amendment precedent.

I think we need a national protection. I have a bipartisan bill that would protect both Griswold and Roe and restore to where we are, pre-Dobbs.

for the first time in my life, I felt like an endangered species. No one should be made to feel that way.

I think it's just outrageous that we're making people do that.

I think it is totally superfluous to the debate we are supposed to be having.

I object.

In 2031, or roughly seven years from now, it is predicted that health care spending will reach $7 trillion on an annual basis, or about 20 percent of GDP.

We need to make sure that Federal benefits, like those available under the Black Lung Benefits Program and the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, are available to the workers who need them.

What more can we do to promote early detection?

The death of Bryan Malinowski is a tragedy, but unfortunately, it is not a surprise, given the cavalier attitude of the ATF over the years.

We need to strike the right balance to procure these important resources responsibly and protect both our communities and our workers.

I have been struck with what Cecil Roberts said that this is happening to younger and younger people.

We have to make sure that miners are not left behind.

We have to make sure that miners are not left behind.

We need to make sure that Federal benefits, like those available under the Black Lung Benefits Program and the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, are available to the workers who need them.

I am happy about this silica standard. I know Senator Casey and others really leaned hard on the Administration to issue it.

The President wants to take it to $50 trillion in the next ten years if his budget were to be enacted, and that is without any additional emergency supplemental spending.
