3 years after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, a law that is already helping millions of Americans, our friends on the other side of the aisle are wasting time again on a pointless symbolic vote that will never become law and…

One of the reasons I ran for Congress was because one of my best friends died of breast cancer about 20 years ago.

I just feel like I need to go on the record to say it is the insurance companies who, by the way, the last time I checked, were making huge profits.

I would dare say there are outright lies being put out there in some of the media outlets about really what this means.

Millions of Americans are already feeling the positive benefits of the Affordable Care Act in their health and their pocketbooks.

the Affordable Care Act has done a lot to make health insurance more affordable, more dependable, and more meaningful for American families and businesses.

I think it absolutely makes for a more seamless system in this country, as well as leading to jobs in the economy.

I think, really--and I guess I am biased, since I am the ranking member on rail--is that rail is the engine that put America to work.

One of the things I have not heard us talk about today, which I do think is a--is going to be a problem that we need to address, and that is the environmental impacts of our expanded transportation projects and initiatives.

I think we really lose the public's trust when we continue to ask for taxes, raise taxes, and don't use them for the intended purpose.

I just think that is a problem in search of a solution. There is $9 billion that is surplus that is not being used for the intended purposes.

I mean when we really talk about the economy and the jobs, it really does come down to our ports being dredged, maintained and modernized.

We need to stop this piecemeal system and develop and invest in a strong national freight system.

Background checks may not have changed what happened at Sandy Hook, but I hope Sandy Hook changes what happens here. Ninety percent of the American people agree that expanding background checks for gun sales is the right thing to do. These…

the system was broken and I think that is why this Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to fix what was a very broken system.

I'm happy that, finally, we are moving forward on gun violence prevention legislation in this country. And I really applaud our Senators, Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey, for coming together, finally, in a bipartisan fashion to push forward…

I am proud to be serving as a ranking member of this Subcommittee, and I know that there is a lot of work that we can do together to empower our small businesses to put technology to work for them and to help them access all the resources…

11 years ago our Nation experienced unimaginable loss caused by the terrorist attacks on September 11. Let us not forget that the terrorists overtook planes using simple box cutters, which were allowed on board at the time. TSA's recent…

March is Women's History Month, and so I would like to point out that this week the Republicans and Chairman Paul Ryan once again put forth a budget that hurts women and fails to meet the moral code of our Nation. There is no morality in a…

I think a national freight policy, particularly that includes good grade separation across this country, is critical to us being competitive in the future.

I think that means higher costs for our consumers. It is more congestion, more pollution, less jobs.

I know that unless we develop an effective national freight policy, we cannot move our goods efficiently and be globally competitive.

Congress' failure to avert the sequestration with a balanced and responsible plan before the March 1 deadline is not just sad, it's inexcusable. The ramifications of failure are anything but artificial. They are real and they are severe…

58 years ago a woman named Rosa Parks took a seat on a bus in Montgomery and refused to give it up. Tomorrow Rosa Parks will take her place in the Halls of the United States Capitol when her statue joins other great American women like…

When I first came to Congress, I didn't vote for that bill that created the threat of sequestration. I thought it was a bad idea then, and I think it's a bad idea now. Automatic triggers that institute automatic cuts across the board in…
