We do not oppose this bill because of what is in it, because there is nothing in it. There are no benefits in it. There is nothing in the bill except to spend money to get private insurance companies, if they decide to come.

I strongly oppose these budget cuts which are kind of like the cable company starting to bill you for a service while you are at home waiting for them to show up and connect it.
The legislation we are considering today is quite possibly the moral low-point of this House Republican Majority. Not only does it negate a law that was agreed to just last year to cut the deficit, it makes unconscionable cuts to safety…
I think it is the first hearing that Republicans have held in the Ways and Means Committee to advance their plan to end the Medicare as we know it.
What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.
