Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Georgia for the recognition. Colleagues, the new CBO score is out on, I guess, version 4.5 or 5.5--it is hard to keep track of the bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act--and nothing has changed…

Mr. President, I have had the good fortune of being in both the House and the Senate during the period of passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act and now the debate over repeal, and I have heard consistently from my…

Mr. President, I want to pick up where my colleague from Hawaii left off. There is a wonderful analogy that President Obama used after the 2016 election. As you could imagine, Democrats were pretty dejected the day after, and President…

I think it is important to understand what the law says. The law says there is only one healthcare provider that by law has to treat every single person who comes in the door; they can't turn away individuals based upon their ability to…

Mr. President, I come to the floor very briefly to make what, I hope, is a reasonable recommendation to my colleagues on both sides. We are due to vote later today on moving forward on a piece of legislation that I support. Last week, we…

Madam President, I rise to speak on the same subject as my friend from Texas. Listen, Democrats are ready to talk to Republicans about improving our healthcare system, but we aren't going to engage in a debate that presupposes that the end…

Mr. President, I am on the floor to talk about the status of America's healthcare system. As we speak though, the country is obsessed with the question of the firing of FBI Director Comey and the appointment last night of a special counsel…
