I want to point out that none of the delays that Mr. Upton indicated on that chart would result in 13 million people losing insurance coverage and raise premiums 10-20 percent. This is not a delay that we can agree to. It hurts the…

At this time, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from the State of Colorado (Ms. DeGette). Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, every year, sometimes more than once a year, since 2003 Congress has had to step in to prevent a cut in…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Capps), my good friend.

Demonizing the Affordable Care Act and falsely claiming that the sky is falling is not a productive use of our time.

We need more neuroscience research, radiological and longitudinal research methods can lead to earlier, more accurate diagnoses.

Since the ACA was enacted, Medicare Advantage premiums are down almost 10% and enrollment is up 30%.

These changes strengthen the program in my view and help to improve the solvency of the Medicare trust fund.

They said the ACA would destroy Medicare Advantage but it is stronger than ever.

I have been in Congress for 40 years. That is why I am retiring, among other reasons.

Chicken Little, the sky is NOT falling.

The topic of today's hearing started out as a look at Medicare Advantage. But now we are also considering a hodge podge of GOP bills that do not improve the Medicare Advantage program.

And we want sports, but we want to make it as safe as possible.

Serious psychological and emotional disorders have been documented among former athletes that have suffered repetitive brain trauma.

As a result of the ACA, the Medicare Advantage program is stronger than ever. Enrollment is at an all-time high and growing, premiums have declined, and benefits have improved along with the health of the Medicare Trust fund.

We have heard a great deal about ObamaCare cuts to Medicare Advantage, but didn't the Republican budget led by Representative Paul Ryan include the very same so-called cuts that were in the Affordable Care Act?

Doctors, league associations, coaches, parents, players need to work together to establish health regulations.

I couldn't support it in its current form. But I am open to working to improve it.

I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I know that this legislation carries important personal significance for some of our colleagues, and I respect that, but I want to express some real concerns about the bill because I…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

The President's Cancer Panel found that reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act is critically needed to reduce the incidents and burden of cancer in this country.

The burden needs to shift some to the industry.

We have received so many letters of opposition to this draft.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 229, noes 183, not voting 18, as follows: [Roll No. 106] AYES--229…

The underlying bill prevents EPA from setting a standard or requirements for new--new coal-powered plants. Instead of telling a new coal-powered plant they have to use technology to reduce their carbon emissions, this bill says they can't…

My amendment doesn't stop EPA from acting if we can get an alternative, an alternative that would reduce the carbon pollution to the same level the EPA is proposing. My friend and colleague, Mr. Whitfield, said the President, if left…
