I don't think so. Mr. Neal has spelled out, and you have, the atrocious approach here. So I think we can sum it up. The process has been terrible. The product is worse. That is what happens when you have a very terrible process, you get a…
The Republican budget politically paving the way for their tax reform proposals can best be described as an elixir of growth, a magic cure-all. Instead, it is a fake, indeed dangerous, potion. History has shown that a huge tax cut…
These cuts would have a major impact on the people who are the subject of this hearing.
Last month, the House passed an ACA repeal bill that would slash Medicaid by more than $800 billion over the next decade.
Unfortunately, the recent actions of my Republican colleagues suggest that this may no longer be the case.
Just a word on integration. As I look about us, the four of us Democrats on the Committee at the time of ACA were in the vanguard of those who sought to have more integration, more bundling, all kinds of concepts.
I think there is general agreement we need to look at the corporate tax structure.
This is the Republican bill: a trillion dollars in lost health care for millions; at the same time, a trillion dollars in tax breaks, mostly for the very wealthy and corporations. The Republican majority says their bill is to provide…
The result will be the absence of health care for millions of women in our Nation, as H.R. 7 will result for millions of women in our Nation. We are seeing 48 hours of reckless disregard for women's health.
We Democrats are here to act. The Republicans leave here with stony silence: the silence of inaction on Zika; the silence of inaction on the needs of Flint; the silence of inaction on the no fly, no buy and background checks. Years ago…
Today is simply unmasked political chicanery. This issue deserves better than the majority leader coming here without any notice, really, and putting forth a resolution that does nothing but harm what used to be a centerpiece of foreign…
Let me just mention that Mr. Blumenauer wanted to be here but, because of the weather, he has just been unable to arrive. I think the majority may have the same problem. I yield back the balance of my time.
By the way, I thank Chairman Brady for allowing the leader to go out of turn. I reserve the balance of my time.
It is now my privilege to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), our distinguished leader.
If the chairman does not mind, I would like to yield to the distinguished leader. Is that okay, Mr. Chairman?
It is now my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), our Whip.
The current religious exemption from ACA mirrors other religious exemptions used in the Internal Revenue Code. The EACH Act provides that anyone who ``is a member of a religious sect that relies solely on religious methods of healing and…
I pause for a minute. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett).
It is now my pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), our leader, who, indeed, as she goes to speak, has been our leader on this effort.
I now yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Lewis), another valued member of our committee.
It is now my pleasure to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel) who, to put it mildly, is a senior member of our committee. (Mr. RANGEL asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
We will be glad to do that. We are so full of vigor on this, we have lots of speakers. I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Becerra), a member of our committee, who is also chair of our Caucus.
I believe that people who say that nothing can get done in Washington, I think we have a great chance to prove them wrong this year.
We urge Congress to take action this year on comprehensive reforms, including both front-end and back-end change.
The Fair Act is, I think, a great proposal to address some of the abuses with civil asset forfeiture.
