I have confidence that our Federal, State, and local public health experts have put us in a strong position to respond this year's flu season.

God forbid, we have another flu pandemic, we want to make sure that we can protect our own people.

But as I've said numerous times before, we can and will do better to improve the effectiveness.

I think that the administration... asked for the entire Affordable Care Act... to be struck down.

There are currently 133 million people with preexisting conditions who under the ACA get protections.

Twenty-one million people who are insured under the ACA would lose their insurance.

Obstruction of the committee's legitimate exercise of its oversight responsibilities is unacceptable.

I have repeatedly requested Ms. Verma provide the underlying analysis discussed in that memo.
