Medicaid expansion brings down marketplace rates.

We know it is fiscally irresponsible not to expand Medicaid.

The Affordable Care Act is doing great things in California and I am proud to see that.

What we really want to do today is treat mental illness as a disease and afford the same prevention, early intervention, and treatment that we strive to have for physical illnesses.

Thank you very much. And I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here today to testify on such an important issue.

Mental health parity is an essential part of comprehensive reform.

Today, House Republicans are leaving town for 52 days. That is 52 days that we won't be taking action to address public health crises like Zika and the Flint water crisis. Time and time again, House Republicans have blocked meaningful…

It has been a challenging and heartbreaking time for our country. Today, we mark the 1-month anniversary of the horrible mass shooting in Orlando. As we process the pain from the gun violence that continues to shake our Nation, we must…

I want to thank the Commission for appearing before us again. It is great to see you.

I really want to comment on Lifeline. I am very passionate about it and I know other Commissioners are passionate about it.

I appreciate the FCC started a proceeding on the 1675 to 1680 megahertz which Representative Guthrie and I wrote to you about along with many of our colleagues.

There are so many people in our country who are unserved and under served in both rural and urban areas.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. For far too long, those with mental illness have been left in the shadows, and mental health prevention and treatment have been left out of our health systems. The mental health crisis in this country is…

Since our sit-in, led by our moral leader, John Lewis, a steady, consistent chorus of voices across the country is growing louder demanding action on gun violence. The heartfelt calls, letters, emails, and social media postings continue to…

We lose over 30,000 people a year to gun violence. We must never forget that that number is made up of thousands of individual stories: a family grieving over the death of a child, a teenager missing a friend at school, a son who must get…

I want to thank Congressman Welch for his leadership on this common sense amendment. Working mothers are driving our economy forward. Two out of every three women are the sole or equal breadwinner in their households. Many of these women…

The privacy of our health data is of critical importance, and this legislation would establish HHS as a model and leader across the Federal Government.

Making technological investments in our cyberdefense systems is absolutely critical, but it is also just as important that our organizational structures are set up for success.

The opioid and heroin crisis has hit home for everyone, impacting our coworkers, our neighbors, and our friends in every corner of this country. In Sacramento, my district, the deadly consequences of fentanyl are devastating our families…

The answer to our drought challenges is not taking water from one group or region in order to benefit another.

I ask that you consider supporting the Water Recycling Acceleration Act as it moves through your committee.

We have an awful lot of water recycling projects that are ready to go throughout the West, and it has been a source of great frustration that Title XVI has really been stalled for several years now.

Water recycling is a proven technology that has expanded water resources for millions of Americans.

This is a common-sense surgical piece of legislation. It would remove the existing requirement that potential water recycling projects have to first receive a project-specific authorization from Congress.
