Barbara Boxer

I am somebody from a state of 38 million people, but it's OK.

The new healthcare reform law--not loved by all, but by this person--is slowly putting an end to health plans that place caps on essential health services.

The days of these mini-med plans are numbered.

It's not 2014 yet. All of this will disappear then.

We need to make sure that the Secretary of HHS is shining a bright light on these shams and scams.

I hope we'll be able to hold it off, because stories like this help us make our case.

What do you pick up for your employees, on average?

I think the more basic question is, like, would a car that the brakes only worked 90 percent of the time, but didn't work 10 percent of the time, would that get approved?

I think that this S. 3213, which restores that trust fund for its stated purpose, is a very good thing to pull both sides together.

WRDA was one of those bills that Senator Inhofe and I teamed up to override a George W. Bush veto.

I am feeling good about this. At a time when people say, can we work together, there are areas where we can work together.

I think it is extremely important for us to look at not only the levee safety issues and to provide the levels of protection, but to communicate them extremely clearly to the public.

I am very pleased to look forward to passing a WRDA bill.

I hope that--I haven't discussed this directly with Senator Inhofe, but I am hopeful that he will agree with us.

Let me state that I am going to add myself today as a co-sponsor to the Levin bill, S. 2312.

If we are going to grow America, we have to make sure we keep up with the infrastructure. That is the bottom line.

We support the $650,000 request to provide in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers General Investigation Budget.

Senator Boxer asked the CPUC to submit their plan in writing for moving ahead with more automatic shut off valves.

The CPUC has not issued as many fines as some other states have.

Well, again, where it makes sense is where the people live.

So, you won't decide it. They'll decide it?

I assure you, if something is potentially endangering the public, we fix it immediately.

I think that was your list of the top 100 high-risk pipeline segments.

So, you would agree that, had there been a shut-off valve, we could have averted the worst disaster, if those valves worked.

Don't you think we ought to have shut-off valves in place?
