COVID-19 exposed the worst parts of our system, where we miss people.

President Biden has now made a major commitment to restore some of that funding.

the most important way is it actually has money behind it. And that gives us a chance to really do something.

Telehealth has played just an amazing, critical role during the pandemic.

we are looking for comprehensive plans that have quality coverage for all Americans.

It was meant--you all passed that so we could actually address the needs of those providers that stepped up to the plate.

We are not done. Even if we fully vaccinate, we are not done.

We want to have accountability.

You are really going towards getting us to the point where every American can really say healthcare is a right, not just a privilege.

We have a maternal mortality crisis in America. It is just that it is hidden.

We have to do everything we can, working with our local partners, working with Congress, to make sure we are addressing this.

There is no reason why Americans should be paying this much for their prescription medication.

You’re vaccinated, guess what? You get to return to a more normal lifestyle. If you’re not vaccinated, you’re still a danger -- you’re still in danger as well, so get vaccinated.

I am all about making sure we treat everyone fairly.

Gun violence. We all know, what is it, about 40,000 Americans die from firearm injuries as the result of our lack of action on this every year.

We know that we need to do more with regard to domestic and gender-based violence.

We are not going to jeopardize any child. We are not going to do things in a way that add to the trauma the child has already experienced.

I fully understand the value of that type of work that has to be done, and what I can tell you is that while a decision hasn't been made, I can get back to you as quickly as possible on the course of action that we will take…

We have to remember that our mission is separate and apart and different from the Department of Homeland Security's mission.

It will take a bipartisan effort to make sure we move it in the right direction to finally fulfill our trust responsibilities.

We have seen how quickly the private sector, working with the Government sector, can move.

President Biden has made it very clear. This is a public health crisis, and we have to address it.

We have authority to provide for transportation resources to make sure that these children are united.

So sometimes it is actually more efficient and cost effective to try to help make that transportation work.

I mean, I am even impressed at what President Biden has accomplished when it comes to the vaccine.
