I thank Mr. Engel for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this resolution. At the same time, I want to express concerns about the full thrust of the resolution. It makes it clear that the military in Burma is the main…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the chairman of the committee says: Come together. You have done it alone. You have snubbed your nose at the American people as well as the process of this institution. The GOP tax bill…

I thank our whip for trying to whip some common sense into this debate. I want to focus on the claims of the Republicans that this is a middle class tax cut. Halloween is over, but the masks of the Republican are still on. I think the…

And I will keep doing it. And now Mr. Hoyer is going to yield to another champion who has worked how many years on these issues? Don't say it is a long time.

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for all of his work he has done over the years. The Republican tax bill is built on massive deception. The deception is that, as the Speaker put it: ``The focus is on middle class tax relief.'' That…

I wanted to ask you to yield just at this moment. The gentleman talked about a tax cut for the middle class. The problem with this terrible process is there isn't time enough to challenge those who say something that is false. I just want…

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…

I reserve the balance of my time, unless Mr. Paulsen is ready to close.

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…

I am disappointed that this bill, H.R. 2824, injects needless controversy into reauthorizing the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. Home visiting is an evidence-based approach that connects pregnant women and…

This act jeopardizes American families' ability to afford health insurance. The so-called Verify First Act would require a new verification process of an individual's Social Security number before he or she can receive any tax credit for…

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.

Last month, the House passed an ACA repeal bill that would slash Medicaid by more than $800 billion over the next decade.

These cuts would have a major impact on the people who are the subject of this hearing.

Unfortunately, the recent actions of my Republican colleagues suggest that this may no longer be the case.

I think there is general agreement we need to look at the corporate tax structure.

It has just been said that no one with a preexisting condition will be denied treatment. That is a cruel falsehood. Roughly 129 million Americans today have a preexisting condition. Here is what the AMA says to refute what was just said…

We are seeing President Trump attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, both breaking his own promises and making it worse for American families. He promised to protect Americans with preexisting conditions, but any State could allow…

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…

I thank Mr. Neal for his work and that of all of us on the committee on the Democratic side. As CBO has said, under this bill, 24 million Americans would lose their health insurance next year, and 24 million over the next decade. Today…

At the onset of the Great Recession, our unemployment insurance system was completely inadequate. Democrats took the lead, against increasing Republican opposition, to improve the system and to provide unemployment benefits to Americans…

Yesterday's headline in The Washington Post: ``These Muslim families sought refuge in America's heartland. Now, Trump's visa ban is tearing them apart.'' One is in my district. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's time has expired.

With H.R. 7, Republicans are again targeting American women's health care. This bill limits financial assistance in order to restrict women's choices in the health insurance marketplaces, forcing women and their families to select only…

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.

I just want to say to my colleague from Michigan: Hundreds of thousands of people are going to lose their insurance under a plan that was agreed to by the Republican Governor, and I will send you the numbers in your district. Mr. Chairman…
