I would argue that now would be the time to weigh in and make your feelings known on this.

the risk here is that you're now going to set up one system of care for healthy people who can get into those plans, which don't require you to price without respect to medical acuity, and one system for sick people, who will then stay in…

We've got to have a conversation about how you structure risk allocation here to promote insurers to pay for the stuff that actually keeps you off of that pain medication pathway.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

What is Tennessee doing to try to address the requirement in ESSA that states try to crack down on what we call aversive discipline practices?

I think all of us felt a familiar knot in our stomach early this morning when we received news of what might be the deadliest mass shooting in American history. The numbers are hard to comprehend. They certainly aren't final. Fifty-eight…

That is really curious given how much we focused on evidence-based practices, how intentional we were to make sure that if you are putting interventions to try to help kids out who are underperforming, that it would be evidence-based.

To my colleagues: your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers. None of this ends unless we do something to stop it.

We as a country--these are my words, not anyone else's--are complicit in many of the worst things that are happening there.

I think that our policy in Yemen has been an epic failure, and I understand the Saudis spend a lot of money coming up here and making promises about how they are going to change the conduct of this war.

Yemen currently is arguably the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world today, an epidemic of both famine and cholera.

Who cares what they say?

let me associate myself with the remarks of the Senator from Massachusetts. There is a lot of work we need to do this week; she is right. There are healthcare crises right around the corner for millions of kids and families that we could…

Every military conflict that we are involved in overseas has a political root at the bottom of it.

Nothing has seemed to have changed there. The humanitarian catastrophe gets worse every single month.

I worry that we're watching a Charlie Brown and Lucy move be perpetuated on the Democrats on this Committee.

They wanted us to stop the political games and come together and try to find a bipartisan compromise.

I thank the Senator. I know it is late, and I thank him for staying on the floor for a few moments. You do not know what it is going to do to your own constituents. We do not have a CBO score telling us how many people will lose coverage…

if I may ask the Senator a follow-up question, we are in a different position today because, when we were taking these votes a month ago, there was only the faint talk of a bipartisan process to try to keep what works in the Affordable…

before the Senator leaves the floor, I just want to probe him for a moment on this question of process. Listen, this is an affront to the Senate--a bill that reorders one- fifth of the U.S. economy and that is being delivered to us days or…

first let me lend my support to efforts to bring amendments before the floor later today or later this week with respect to strengthening our Nation's ``Buy American'' laws. This has been a cause that I have been working on for almost my…

Let me underscore the importance of marketing. I was just with the head of Connecticut's exchange, one of the most successful in the country.

I understand the need to allow for States to be laboratories of experimentation.

This seems to be the consequence of a fairly rapid and often unannounced buildup of U.S. forces inside Syria.

I support the Chairman's goal of getting a narrow package that can pass quickly.
