I appreciate you taking those in order, trying to get us information that we have been waiting years for, and proceeding in a good faith manner.

The only way to protect our kids is to deny premarket tobacco product applications for every flavored e-cigarette other than tobacco flavor.

And that is why we need to pass legislation like the Children's Protection Act proposed by Chairwoman Maloney and myself.

Every kid in this country should have the same shot at nutritious housing, at quality childcare, at adequate housing regardless of the marital status of their parents.

It is really, really important that in policy that we’re trying to lift up every single American child, that we don’t disadvantage children because of the marital status or family status of their parents.

I think that shows a disrespect for the American people and for the process of democracy.

It is to profit their shareholders. And I want them to be honest about that because then we can begin having a debate about what to do about the cost of prescription drugs.

Mr. Gonzalez, you`re spending all this money to make sure you make money rather than spending money to invest in, develop drugs and help patients with affordable life-saving drugs.

You bought it approved for the market, knowing it would be profitable. You hiked the price to pay for R&D, but you haven't made the drug any better, even as you doubled the cost.

You are spending all this money to make sure you make money, rather than spending money to invest in, develop drugs, and help patients with affordable, life-saving drugs.

Roughly, in a matter of eight years, AbbVie more than doubled the price.

So, AbbVie--reclaiming my time--so AbbVie itself didn't spend any money to create Imbruvica.

It is the result of policy choices, policy choices that Republicans have made to gut the IRS from simply doing its job. And who does this benefit? This benefits cheaters. Call a spade a spade. There are cheaters. And who are they? They are…

I have legislation where I had a Republican cosponsor just two years ago, a year ago, and I can’t find one this time.

We can do something about that by simply fully funding the IRS and allowing it to do its work of enforcing the tax code.

Taxes are an investment that we collectively make in growing our economy and making sure that we remain the best country in the world.

What`s at stake is helping American families. What`s at stake is growing our economy.

As Chairman Krishnamoorthi and Representative Porter wrote in February, we must move urgently to implement OPO reforms today to serve COVID-19 survivors tomorrow.

Let's find out what your understanding is, because you're compensated to do this job.

This hearing is about saving lives, not partisan politics.

Thousands of patients waiting on a life-saving organ cannot wait while the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations lobbies and tries to stop rules and procedures just to make it simply clear whether an OPO is doing the life-saving…

I support this important bill which would clarify and strengthen requirements around who can serve as an acting official and for how long.

So, this problem isn't new, but it does seem to have gotten worse again over the last four years.

The evidence is clear, we subsidize--we taxpayers subsidize the oil and gas industry.

Why should taxpayers have to shell out for your salary and for the costs of pollution? Why shouldn't the companies bear that themselves?
