I have serious concerns about such a model.

The bill sets out mandatory time frames for decisions both by the advisory committee and the FDA.

And do you think including mental health coverage as an essential health benefit and requiring it be covered at parity with physical health were important steps forward?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The increased coverage provided by the Affordable Care Act and the mental health benefits it requires will make a substantial improvement in the lives of Americans who need these services.

I am so scared that if you take PAIMI away, and that is what would happen, there wouldn't be any protection for us if we were being abused, neglected or exploited.

Proponents of the PAIMI proposals in H.R. 3717 claim these provisions will return the program to its roots but it seems to me that an 85 percent reduction in federal funding would do much more than that.

I must express deep concern about other provisions in this bill. I think the bill broadly redefines the privacy rights of individuals with a diagnosed mental illness.

This has always been a State responsibility. This is a one-size-fits-all response.

I think, Mr. Chairman, we could learn a lot from these witnesses. There is a lot more to the ACA than we can fit into 30-second attack ads.

This is an historic week for the economic security of the American people. After the unprecedented surge in enrollment, the Affordable Care Act has led to the largest expansion of health insurance coverage in half a century. More than 7.1…

Now, Mr. Chairman, it is time to choose our path. We could accept all of these excuses for inaction and do nothing. The result would be a climate catastrophe. Or we could choose to act now to address climate change.

The loudest voices against taking action have offered no alternative plan to protect our children and grandchildren from the ravages of climate change.

EPA does not often get a warm welcome in the House of Representatives. Don't take it personally.

Obamacare brought in 7 million people and appears to be quite successful despite the aspirations of our Republicans to trash it.

Families across America are counting on you to do what is right and to stand up to special interests.

Climate change is not something we can have the luxury to worry about at some time in the future. It is already here.

We have a choice to make. We can seize the moment by taking action to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and realize the benefits of transitioning to a clean energy economy, or we can decide, Mr. Chairman, not to act.

The world's leading scientists examined the peer-reviewed science and confirmed that climate change is already happening on all continents and across the oceans and will get much worse if we do not act.

Americans are counting on you to carry out the President's Climate Action Plan and cut dangerous carbon pollution.

Because GM didn't implement this simple fix when it learned about the problem, at least a dozen people have died in defective GM vehicles.

We don't want to scare consumers to think, oh, if I take a generic, I may be taking something that is not as safe.

I am Henry Waxman from the Hatch-Waxman and I am here to set the record straight.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Well, wasn't it misleading to say that that company didn't tell them sub par switches may have been installed in the first place?
