We are not invincible.

This administration has done nothing to expand coverage. Rather, they have undermined the progress made by the ACA.

The premiums are skyrocketing in the exchange.

Representative Kuster's bill revokes the Section 1332 waiver guidance issued by the Trump administration last October which weakens requirements of private insurance plans to provide comprehensive coverage at an affordable price.

the sabotage of the Trump administration disguised in a disingenuous attempt to expand coverage is shameful.

Both Sprint and T-Mobile challenged AT&T and Verizon in recent years and they have fought tooth and nail to gain market share.

The Trump administration's 1332 guidance turns the statute on its head, giving States the green light to undermine protections for preexisting conditions.

Promoting the use of junk insurance plans is particularly frustrating when this administration has also slashed outreach funding.

Representative Castor's bill would rescind the rule that expanded these junk insurance plans.

If we don't pay the cost-sharing reduction subsidies, they are going to increase costs.

Competition is the lifeblood of our economy. It stimulates innovation, something that my district produces a great deal of.

These junk plans will make costs higher in the exchange.

Now, their data speeds were slashed. Now, just picture what is going on. This is an emergency.

I think that they are worth fighting for. I really do, and how this is going to be settled I don't know.

This is an important hearing and I want to thank each one of the witnesses.

I want to reinforce what you just said about what happened last summer.

When we have one-third of the American people who either do-- are either underserved or not served at all, you are a hero in my book.

I am so proud to represent Mozilla. They are headquartered in my congressional district and you gave excellent testimony, especially about one of the most important things that happens in Silicon Valley and that is new ideas being born…

We know a ban on lifetime caps means that insurance companies cannot decide that her life isn't worth the cost and cut her off care just because she met some arbitrary dollar amount.

I sit before you today on behalf of families like mine who fear that the only certainty we know could be taken away.

The insurance reforms of the ACA protect every American, including those who get their health insurance through their employer.

Healthcare was the single most important issue to voters in the 2018 election.

We know this: We know Xiomara's 10 preexisting conditions will be covered without penalty, even if we switch insurance plans or employers.

I am really disappointed that the Trump administration moved to reverse much of our progress with their proposal to roll back the curtain on fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards.

We want to strengthen it, and what you described relative to your constituents certainly applies to many of us on our side as well.
