I thank you for yielding to me. Madam Speaker, existing law very clearly states no taxpayers' money can fund abortions--that is already the law--with the exception of rape, incest, or to save a woman's life. The Republicans are coming in…

And my colleagues, supporters of this legislation claim that it is simply an effort to get more information about how the Affordable Care Act is being implemented, but it is not really that. It is an effort to slow down the implementation…

The previous speaker in this debate said that we don't know how many times there was a breach of security on the health care Web site. Well, we do know how many breaches of security there were, how many successful attacks there were--zero…

I want to express my disappointment that we are letting unemployment insurance be denied to so many long-term unemployed, especially a few days right after Christmas. We should not leave town until we have fixed this problem. I am going to…

As a supporter of the Affordable Care Act, I look forward to next year when we will see all Americans have a chance to buy health insurance. For those who are on Medicare, that is their health insurance coverage, and we will only keep the…

I rise, reluctantly, to oppose this bill. First of all, I want to express to Gabriella Miller's family my sincere sympathies. We all want to fund more research to fight pediatric disease. Nothing could be a more worthy objective. If we…

I thank you for yielding. Both of you are absolutely right. It is so shortsighted to have us cut back on funding for the National Institutes of Health and their research agenda. When you make a cut in this area one year, it isn't like you…
